good things will happen 🧿

things that are meant to be will fall into place 🧿

I deserve a gentle love after all the shit I’ve had to put up with

Freedom or safe mode?

Consciousness. Wakefulness of the spirit. Passionate sensitivity. Psychic, emotional and spiritual oppenness.

(What is safe mode? I don’t know her and don’t want to know her.)

This forgotten castle (Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers) was abandoned after a fire In 1932. Seeing it up close is breathtaking. These days it seems like castles only exist in storybooks and Disney movies. What happened to the foreboding dwellings of our wealthiest ancestors? The truth of the matter is, while there are still many castles in Europe, many have fallen into disrepair and ruin over time. However, a group of preservationists in France are trying to save a 13th century castle that is slowly being reclaimed by nature. The story behind the abandoned property is just as fascinating as what’s left standing today. See an amazing video here.
