There's a peace that comes in letting go of the internalized stigma of age, illness, and perceived weakness. I won't pretend I've completed that journey, but abandoned places are where I've always gone to attempt to make progress with it. Perhaps if they have value, I reason, so do I. And maybe someone else who can't get there in person can find hope there too.
Maybe in the loneliest places we can feel less alone. Because it's not just you. Your struggles are shared. We all ache in some way.
