Hafodunos Hall (an abandoned mansion) in Llangernyw North Wales. This hall was a gothic revival house designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott for Henry Sandbach.

Gothic Revival architecture was a movement in the 19th century where admirers of this style tried to revive medieval gothic architecture.

The Sandbach family sold this mansion. It had many uses such as a private school for girls to an old people’s home that was later shut down.

In 2004 the house was destroyed by a fire leaving the mansion completely abandoned.

Self love is radical because it is simultaneously self aware and forgiving. Self love is acceptance, but also growth and improvement. Self love is casting little weight to the shame and doubt that insecurity and negligence bloom. Self love is not rationalizing bad behavior- self love is to look directly into your shadow. It is to embrace all of your flaws and toxicities and mistakes and darkness in order to change them. So many do not accept their truths and live in a painful lie their whole lives, but like love, suffering is unending in us. It is our duty to apply love over suffering. This means acting on decisions as little suffering as possible (including your own- no codependency allowed in relationships deemed healthy) which also means expanding your self love to your community web, as we are all interconnected in human consciousness, we are all trying to at least end our own suffering, we see daily life as a means instead of an end, living for small moments of luxury. Self love is putting value on your life- this doesnt mean financial, but it can be. Self love is investing in yourself. Just as plants need water and stretch themselves to absorb the liquid gold through soil or stretch its petals and leaves and flowers to the sun to absorb its energy you must go forth and do what will make you happy in every corner, at every inching minute, in every slow breath, in every early rise and late slumber, and avoid tasks that will bring you more needless, endless suffering. Self love is accepting your contextualized existence, and existing on your own secure pathway regardless of the contexualized-day class culture, human rights, conservativsm, authoritarianism. Self love is loving your inner child and taking care of her every day. Self love is treating others how you want to be treated. Self love is a spirit, not a mindset or a marketing ploy. Self love is faking it until you make it. Self love is saying fuck you to imposter syndrome. Self love is radical. Self love is beautiful. Self love is independence. Self love is hope. Self love is faith. Self love is acceptance.

how did we come to lie here

how did we come to lie here? among the wet stones, rusted fences meant to keep us in or out of the world. either way they offend us. pick up a rock, I say, and we’ll play a game.

how did we come to lie here on our backs, with eyes shut against the light? I feel for your hand. getting warmer, warmer you say. I am hungry and this hunger is a circle we can’t step out of. listen, I can hear the circle now it hums and far in the beautiful(beautiful) distance we hear our children, and we can go back to sleep for a little while longer.
