I happened upon this old abandoned house near where I live in Williamson County Texas. It amazed me that this house which obviously had a history is just sitting there, an old relic of a forgotten time. Walking through the house, I couldn’t help but feel like we as a people have lost something. I spent time in that house trying to connect with the memories that were created there. I felt a connection to the house that I can only describe as a personal longing for a simpler time. A time where people had more time. Time to spend with the ones they love. Maybe I am just being melodramatic, but I have memories of sitting on the porch swing with my mother as a child. We didn’t have to say a word. We were just there in that moment together. I miss that. Sometimes we all need to slow down. I will try to spend my days from now keeping the moments that I experience with my family and friends safe in my heart and soul. That way when someone finds my abandoned house decades from now, they will know that there was love in this house.
