Attracted to liminal spaces
I am attracted to liminal spaces. Recently I discovered what they were and became obsessed and now I constantly think about them. I can spend hours browsing through liminal space photos and when I look at them I get an intense longing, like a yearning to be there in that place. I know for most people they feel uncomfortable when viewing these images of liminal spaces, but for me, it's the opposite. Maybe it's because I hate people so much. People have always treated me unkindly and unfairly. I take comfort in liminal spaces, for there are no people, no one to hurt me but only the surrounding place itself, which is lonely, like me. It's like a resonance I feel with the places when I look at the images, or when I am in a liminal space.
Like the other day, I went to the cinema to see Jurassic world, right. When I went in, the theatre was completely empty, and I was the only one there. The decor of this cinema, such as the patterned carpet, and the layout were very nostalgic and I felt I was occupying a liminal space. I felt very happy, and at peace with being there alone. I'd say there is also an intimacy about it. I was disappointed when other people arrived, but only about 5 people in all actually came in. Other than that it was completely empty.
I also like to seek out liminal spaces, like I go to the local playground at night often, so I can be alone and listen to my music, most people would feel uneasy walking around the park at night or the field in the pitch black, but I feel safe. Yet it's also a thrill at the same time, like "being somewhere you shouldn't, but it's away from other people." But I guess I have always felt this way, even before I knew the name for these spaces. Am I just peculiar?
