World’s Most Beautiful Abandoned Places
Italian product manager and web designer Francesco Mugnai recently added a collection of images to his blog touting some of the most beautiful images of abandoned spots and modern ruins that he’d ever seen. The images Mugnai has captured come from empty castles, shuttered power plants, and dilapidated churches around the world. From a sunken yacht in Antarctica to a forever-closed amusement park in Japan, these images all make up a sort of anti-phoenix; rather than rising as new from the ashes, these husks remain preserved in decomposition, forcing viewers to confront the strange beauty of ruination.
I want to go to all of these places with you, because we’re better when we’re alone.

every man i’ve met recently has been the man of my dreams, for like a month, and then i meet someone else and i forget why the last man was so great. i don’t feel empty or anything either.
I give myself five days to forget you.
on the first day I rust.
on the second I wilt.
on the third day I sit with friends but I think about your tongue.
I clean my room on the fourth day.
I clean my body on the fourth day.
I try to replace your scent on the fourth day.
the fifth day, I adorn myself like the mouth of an inmate /
I glow the way unwanted things do,
a neon sign that reads;
come, I still taste like someone else’s mouth.

( personal follow up: i really hate uncertainty and i want to say a lot of things that ‘mean’ something, but i keep landing on this thought, “I DIDN’T EVEN FUCKING CHEAT ON YOU IN CLEVELAND” — because you don’t know enough about me, but that’s a big fucking deal, that’s me wanting trust and affection and intimacy and to love unselfishly, that was having a fucking shred of hope for the first time in a long time. )
