"good evening...
I'm your host, you're ghost host...
with the most!"
~house of a Thousand corpses
my birthday was actually very low key, since I divided it in 2 parties, one for my parents and one for my close friends.
I never did like to celebrate my anniversary, but this year something popped in me and I said:
what the heck, let's do this bitch!
so this is the one with my parents:
we went to a lighthouse that's basically falling into a huge cliff where we can actually see, the centuries passed in the broken rock, all the way from top to bottom!
this gorgeous wind chime was outside of my favorite souvenir store of the lighthouse, I just wanted to grab it and take it home with me! it's so whimsical and nostalgic of the 90's...
this little store doesn't even have a name, it's small and smells of waves and beach sand, but I always get this feeling of awe everytime I'm inside it.
this little store sells loads of oddities, related to the sea that you wouldn't even dream of...
my parents actually bought me an atlantic horseshoe crab in mint condition!
needless to say it is one of my prized possessions in the oddities department.
but I'll do a video about my oddities, probably today!
*the View*
there's no protection whatsoever to keep you from falling into this pit.
I kidd you not.
when it's really windy they forbbid people from going to this part of the cliff.
I was completely feeling the scary freedom of no boundaries...
...and it was breathtaking.
*The Lighthouse*
me, caught off guard, loving mother Nature...
after that we went to visit a castle in Setúbal (I always ask my parents to take me to a different castle every year on my birthday and of course, the tiny shop on the cliff filled with taxidermy)
on our way there we came across something so beautiful and yet so... full of... loss.
the rain storms in my country knocked down many trees, and I feel really sad for that, because I feel such a deep connection with nature, I hate it when it seems she's punishing herself.
feels like self-harm to me.
I feel so alive in dead places.
for me they're not dead at all. I can feel even more life from all the people that passed through this place for centuries.
it pulsates with history and experiences.
after that it was time for dinner, and I had been craving seafood for about 3 months, so I can safely say this dinner was one of the best in my life!
lovely!
xoxo
