    Daily reminder: You're not useless. You're not a dissapointment. You're not dumb. You're not different. You're not compared to anyone. Because... You're loved. You're strong. You're smart. You're beautiful inside and out. You're the best version of YOU there ever is. and you're human. I know you're going through a lot of stuff right now but it'll be okay. This life is a long journey. In a journey, there are ups and downs. If you ever go down, it doesn't mean you can't go back up. Rest easy and give yourself a treat :) I love you very very much and I just want you to know that.And when you go back up, you have that space in your heart that can help others back up, as well 😆😆😆

    Dreams . . . They were just dreams, I kept telling myself. Although, in the back of my mind, I knew I had seen that same castle from a forlorn memory. Clasps of lightning and echoes of thunder cascaded my mind, making me dizzy as I remembered each detail. Everything was so vivid that I managed to take out my ink and pen to sketch it all out in my journal. The overhanging lamp flickered and jumbled around as the carriage rolled over the uneven, disheveled cobblestone. Not every man could manage carrying on into this strange journey. My guide, a cranky old man, grumbled to himself as he continued to steer the horses.
    The man looked to the sky and sneered, "Mi'lady, we'll have to stop here soon if the storm gets worse. Don't want my horses . . . poor suckers . .. to get struck now, do we?"
    Shouting over the thunder, I asked from the window, "Why couldn't we use a car to drive up here? It would've been faster."
    Cursing, the man let out a puff from his cigar and huffed, "Look 'ere, m'am, I already told ya . . . The master of these lands despise the scent of gasoline, so we gotta do our best to please our glorious benefactor to protect our city."
    Sighing, I pressed back into the seated cushions and took out my journal that contained my art history : Architecture notes. I didn't want to leave home, but I needed to venture out to acquire new information for my studies. My professors were adamant that I go on an "eye-awakening adventure" to acquire my MFA (Master of Fine Arts) degree, write something new and exciting for research purposes. Well, I couldn't decline their excellent, traveling abroad opportunity where the art department took care of all the costs. Sighing and missing home, I took out my phone and wanted to call my roommate to ask if my pet was doing okay . . . Low and behold, I had no cellular service, of course. Traveling by carriage, rolling through a creepy forest with a dark castle in the near distance as a storm brewed in . . . I was regretting every moment of this. I didn't want to be caught in a horror movie.
    Feeling scared, I thought to strike up a conversation with the driver and asked, "You mentioned a benefactor? Does he live here by chance? On Google Maps, they said this one was abandoned." The old man snickered, "We believe so, yes, that he lives here, but no one has ever seen the man. Maybe it's because no one has survived the journey back to the village to tell the tale. A mystery befalls the castle. There's rumors . . . gruesome rumors."
    Curiosity got the best of me, so I asked what kind of rumors, but the driver shook his head, saying, "I'll leave it up to ya to find out. Might be a great mystery for ya to focus on . . . or whatever you youngsters get into these days." There was a pause, and he glanced up to the sky, "The storm seems to be lightening up, but there's a heavy fog rolling in . . . I'm not sure if you want to continue on or stop at a nearby village." I handed him a wad of cash and instructed him to press on. It's been a grueling day, and I wanted to get my research over with. I wanted to get home as soon as possible. The eerie weather from staying in this country dampened my mood. I hadn't seen the sun in so long.
    Wolves howled in the distance and a heaviness had set in . . . A queasy feeling made me realize that I was about to embark on an adventure that I could never come back from. Using my phone, I zoomed in on the castle and locked onto a figure in the window. A candlelight highlighted the figure of a tall man.
    It wasn't abandoned, after all.
    Update 3/6/24: CZcams seems to keep hiding my continuation part and it won't let me send replies to anyone for some odd reason.

      Shaking under the pressure of feeling, actually being watched by this mysterious benefactor, I snapped the picture of the figure . . . just because. I called out to the driver, "Hey, I got a picture of him, I believe? Someone is living there after all!" Then, my phone sparked and turned completely black. Trying to bring it back to life, I smacked it a bunch of times, harder thinking it was just a glitch. Wrong. It was absurdly fried. Dead. Never to rise again. I felt my life had been tied to that phone that held all of my possessions. Letting out a deep sigh and continuing to stare out the window to peer at the castle, I could still see the figure. I knew I wasn't having hallucinations . . . unless he was a ghost!? No, that would be silly. The dark figure became clearer as day the closer we traveled up and over a cobblestone bridge.
      Well, I hoped this man or whatever that person was in the window had a phone or a charger port available. How else was I going to go home without my phone working? The travel back home was going to be boring as hell if I couldn't play my Candy Crush Saga!
      The fog had settled and the rain pitter-pattered on the broken stones and flooded the dirt pathway. It wasn't much longer until we reached the roundabout grand entrance.
      An abandoned fountain and blades of weeds adorned the castle’s grounds. The moonlight highlighted the archway that hung over the main entrance. A sparkle caught my eye as I peered at dragon-carved knockers on the doors.
      As the driver came to a stop that stood mere inches away from a grand, victorian-like overhang, I made a note in my journal to sketch out the dragon door knockers later . . . OR after I get my phone charged, I could save the time and snap a picture real quick! That’s the plan!
      “Here ya go, ma’am. I’m guessin’ you got yourself a sleeping bag, I see? I gotta go back to a nearby village for the night,” the driver said as he opened the door of the carriage. I jumped out, struggled to put on my backpack, and tugged on my suitcase, huffing, and puffing.
      “Yeah, I think. . . MMMHHH . . . Ahhhh . . . I think I got everything. How will I contact you when I need a ride back?” I asked and rolled my suitcase on the wet stones.
      The old man shut the carriage door, stepped back onto the driver’s seat, and took hold of the reigns. Chuckling, he said, “You’ll know how if you survive.”
      Giving him a stinky eye and pouted lips, “DUDE! What the f-k does that mean!?”
      He shrugged and whistled at the horses, whipping them to take off and “escape” from the castle’s grounds. The fog grew heavy and I was left there stranded under the overhang.
      Panic weighed heavily on my heart as I remembered that I had NO survival skills.
      Calming my mind, I took a breath. There was no turning back. I couldn’t run out into the rain to stop the old man. All I could do was continue forward, to complete my quest. I stared out into the horizon and lightning clashed and thunder shook the ground. Terrified, I twirled on my heels to face the front door . . .
      Suddenly, there was no door. Just a tall figure standing and looking over me. I had my hand raised before to knock on the door, but now it’s just hanging awkwardly in the air. Gulping, I felt my hairs stand on end as electricity pulsed around me and the figure.
      Taking a small moment of courage, I raised my head all the way up hesitantly as my neck started to strain.
      My nerves set ablaze as I stared into the eyes of crimson hell. The figure was an alluring man, pale as snow, swept back hair as black as night, lips plump yet held a bluish hue with veins striking through.
      His eyes glowed and trailed down my figure and stared back into my eyes, nodding his head and seeming pleased, yet displeased at the same time.
      There was a loud gulp from me that filled the silence as raindrops trailed down my forehead and chin and into the valley of my breasts. What the hell was I supposed to say? My thoughts were jumbled, and my tongue was tied. I felt hypnotized.
      I didn’t want to look or sound dumb, but all I could mutter was, “Hey?”
      Yep, I failed. I was an absolute mess.
      The man smirked and sharp canines were revealed. He didn’t say a word but leaned down into my personal bubble. I wanted to back up, but my feet seemed to be glued to the floor.
      What did I get myself into?

    I watched this video several years ago for the first time. For me, this presents the absolute perfect beach spot. I fell in love with the Maldives based on the beautiful pictures and videos found on the internet. It is a paradise. I always thought one day I'll get there. I always believed that sooner or later I'll travel to the Maldives, aka the best of all beach destination in the world in my opinion. A few weeks ago I created a vision board and I put a vacation in the Maldives on it. Yesterday we made our reservation to a resort hotel for 15 nights!!! It is a true dream come true... A dream of many years. After we made the reservation I was so happy, I couldn't contain myself for half an hour. I could hardly believe, that I'll see the real thing, not only the pictures, as I did for years. I am still very, very happy. I chose to travel in February, beacause as far as I know the weather is best around that time. In 7 months I'll see my dream in real life... Maldives, I'm looking forward to see you!

    I want to thank you immensely. I was and still am writing a scene of my protagonist venturing through the empty halls of a dark castle, being allured by the musical heart-piercing sound of a violin played by my antagonist. It sets me in the mood and I am suddenly not sitting on my cushions with coffee, but in a never ending castle. My thanks.

    Funny enough, when I settle down to sleep, warm in my sheets, and I try to think of where I'd want to be, I usually end up thinking, "Dracula's castle". In my mind I could be anywhere in the world, at any time, with anyone, doing anything. Yet I want to be in Dracula's candlelit castle. Of course my perception is skewed because I grew up with the game Castlevania Symphony of the Night, where the castle is alive with all sorts of monsters, decorations, fantastic set pieces and color. But even before that I was enchanted by vampires, if it had a vampire in it I'd read or watch it. But then I read Bram Stoker's Dracula...and I kinda hatred it. Except for the beginning, where John explores the castle, befriends Dracula but is ultimately left there to die (spoilers). Walking around such a spooky and elaborate castle has always been where I'd steer my dreams to. I WANT to look at the creepy portrait paintings, I want to hide behind the velvet curtains that tower above me, I want to see the gilded statues and intricate designs.

I had a phase when I was 12, while others were into creepypastas, I was in love with Bram Stoker and other darker historical things like traditional vampires and werewolves instead of teen romance ones. Bram Stoker's Dracula is a sleeper, but... It still is *very* spooky and is perfect for inspiration when wanting to write traditional horror stories.

      Most of us would put the spoiler warning a bit _before_ the thing that will ruin a plot for someone new to the novel. ;-) The bit in your comment above about "John" Harker is what I'm referring to-- even though it should be Jonathan.
      Now that you despise me for my fussy ways, lol, I have to say that I, too, enjoy the dark trappings which you described. Not as much as you do, but there is definite fondness. I'm not a gamer but I like certain visuals ... most especially from things like the British 1960s Hammer Studio monster movies as well as Universal and also Roger Corman's loose cinematic adaptations of Poe, and anything that features fog-shrouded cemeteries or grand old estates with delightfully decrepid decor and dripping candles all aglow. Also, I dig the background paintings in DIsney's 1959 animated movie Sleeping Beauty; the imagery from Maleficent's castle on Forbidden Mountain with its crumbling dungeons and ancient, massive pillars is a treat for the eyeballs. Granted, you won't find long velvet draperies there, but it's cozy in a spooky way.
      Have you watched the television series Penny Dreadful? That had lots of good production design, sets, and macabre stuff to enjoy. Plus, a plethora of monsters and witchery and classic characters from horror literature.

    The castle with its grandiose architecture resembled a tomb, after all these centuries only dust and memories inhabited the majestic building. And of course...him. He stood there pondering on his encounter with a mysterious stranger earlier that evening in a garden of icy roses. This mysterious stranger, of all mortals that caught his attention, knew immediately what sort of creature he was. "How strange..how unusual" he said to himself.
    The flames inside the immense marble fireplace danced reflected in the dark blue of his eyes like the rays of moon in a lake. There was still some life left in him but his spirit was broken. Totally and unequivocally destroyed. The dark engulfed him and there he laid defeated, consumed with doubt: "What next? Did you ever consider what will you do after you completed your mission, after you had your revenge?" .. Eternity and its inevitable embrace awaited like a monster in the dark to devour his entire being, to devour what was left of him, to fulfill its part of the contract. A contract he silently signed once and forever.
    Maddening echoes singing their heartbreaking lullabies ..and a labyrinth of mirrors..all for him..a home for the damned.
    In a dream he saw her pleading and speaking softly "find me...find me..i know you...I KNOW YOU..."

      Actually Vampires do not exist, been to that very castle a few years ago, just a brightly lit, cheerful place even at night. It is a long walk up a hill to get there but worth the price of admission to a historical building. Even Vlad's crown was on display, simple, not ornate, primitively made but interesting. His bed was also simple, padded well for comfort but quite honestly beds made today are more luxurious. The courtyard was small but adequate, not anything at all like I expected but nice to visit for the historical fact of being able to say I've been there. Would I take the tour again, probably not, it wasn't all that impressive, nice but barely.

    “It is a strange world, a sad world, a world full of miseries, and woes, and troubles. And yet when King Laugh come, he make them all dance to the tune he play. Bleeding hearts, and dry bones of the churchyard, and tears that burn as they fall, all dance together to the music that he make with that smileless mouth of him. Ah, we men and women are like ropes drawn tight with strain that pull us different ways. Then tears come, and like the rain on the ropes, they brace us up, until perhaps the strain become too great, and we break. But King Laugh he come like the sunshine, and he ease off the strain again, and we bear to go on with our labor, what it may be.”

    So beautiful and soothing. I usually don't watch these videos for long, but it was like a stroll through a magnificent forest I didn't want to take my eyes off of. Thank you so much.

    Идеально)) Плюс дождь с тёмной темой отлично сочетается. Вампиры тут? :D

    My brother's girlfriend got me my first Gem Artwork. I've never done it before, it's quite challenging but I love it. Anyway I've been listening to this and doing my Gem project, I'm about half way there. Almost done. This music has helped me focus. I feel like writing, drawing or painting, Oh! The energy feels great.
