As much as I hate school, I would break down in tears if I saw my school abandoned, ruined and empty. All my memories. All the flashbacks. All the images of me and my friends. I now understand what people mean by “I miss school, I wish I was your age to go to school”
Imagine going to your school and exploring all the little hidden areas that you've never seen, the teachers lounge and teacher's bathroom. It would be amazing. It would be kind of sad to see all the rooms falling apart because that's where memories were created.
Imagine leaving your school on your last day there, only to come back over a decade later to find it abandoned, and your desk sitting in the exact same spot that you left it in 😢😭
salvatore I yes, the county had been building a huge consolidated school called letcher county central high school, after we graduated that summer everyone else had summer break then began there new school year in the consolidated school, my old high school set abandoned for around 10 years, we sneaked into it a few years ago and it had really went down hill from being abandoned, recently a health clinic or something bought it or part of it and moved into it
Back in 2007 my parents moved across the country and I had to pack up their old house that I grew up in. If that wasn't bad enough, my best friend's mom moved in afterward with her boyfriend, so the first time my buddy and I went up to visit, I literally couldn't speak for like two hours and just kind of wandered around in a trance until the overwhelming nostalgic feelings wore off.
Me too, although I'd have to wait an incredibly long time, because the school I went to from PrK3 to Grade 12 was brand new when I started and had always been getting new upgrades up until graduation. So it's still incredibly modern, and I can't see it being abandoned for several decades.
@vera bella Sometimes it's fine to be there for an hour or so because they worried about long amounts. And it didnt all show up at once kids were there till they closed. They probably worried about the 35 hours a week children would be around the chemicals.
It's a Great thing you took your yearbook with you, because the next time you come to revisit the school, there is no telling how the school would look in the future! In the making of this video, at least the school looked great while it was abandoned, but sadly we all know what happens in America to abandoned buildings. I'm glad you were able to revisit your school, where I live, my elementary school is being expanded due to a growing population of students. Great Video!
imagine walking through this school but years later you walked through the same school but everything is gone and abandoned , i find this too emotional 🥺
My middle school is a very outdoorsy school and it’s not a huge building mine is a huge campus with grassy fields and courts without scary indoor hallways so even if my school were abandoned, I wouldn’t be sad cause it would still look beautiful Edit: Nah JK I would be very sad to see my school abandoned too, I love my school
Mine 🙋♂️ too... Not exactly a school, but a university. Our classes were on the hilly part of the campus. During the duration of my studies, classes were gradually moved to newer buildings off the hills. Years later, the classrooms blocks in the hilly part was abandoned. Recently, those buildings are now demolished. Really sad to see that. All my memories, gone. Also, there's blocks of student dormitory which was already abandoned when I began studying there. Those blocks are haunted by a female ghost and djinns and are off limits to students. Now, these blocks are demolished too. University admin decided to return those demolished place back to nature (with some hiking trails for people exercising).
Yeah i would read the white board and the textbooks on the student's tables, the detail intrigues me so much I wanna go explore abandon schools so much but there aren't any in my country
AtomiCxBulletZz I would scavenge the science areas, music areas, and just get anything I could get that's worth getting. Like instruments and lab tools
Abandoned places are so beautiful! Especially the history behind it! I always want to go to bring ghost hunting equipment and go to an abandoned school,home, ect. I wanna start a RUclips channel and be an urban explorer cause their always beautiful and sad when it's vandalized. But schools are probably the coolest places. I love watching things like this on RUclips
This is honestly so sad however amazing. Sad because you go and visit your old school that has been left abandoned. Amazing because you found your year book with a printed mini photo of you!
Around 4:46 he says that his friend threw thousands of papers out of the window with his name on them. When he goes into more explanation, he says that it was the (first day)of school and that he likes to crumple them up and shove them in his locker and somehow converted it to his bag..🤷🏼♀️ might be nervous being back, but hopefully he wasn’t lying for content.
Seeing how enthusiastic he is and how clearly vivid his memories are with where he remembered every room gave me chills. This was very personal for him you can tell, it’s like walking back in time. It must be overwhelming for him, when he found his old yearbook, goosebumps man!
Savannah Ferrell I'm not sure if this is true but we will never know the real answer but maybe because at the start of the video he said the school shut because a lot of chemicals and it was old so maybe they didn't want to take the desks and chairs incase they were containing chemicals and then brought them into the new school, or it could just be the simple reason the desks look quite old fashioned and they wanted to give the school a more modern look but idk
kaitlin Hiscock I know! Like they know the school was shutting down. Wouldn't you take down some papers and stuff. That's seemed odd to be. It looked more like an evacuation lol
School isn't my favourite thing, but I would cry if I saw my primary school abandoned and forgotten about. All the memories I made with my friends, all the friendships, all the fights, everything.
I always think about the last people who touched those desks, doors, wrote on the boards. The last people to walk on through those halls and touched those walls. The last people who wrote with those pens and sat down to eat lunch with their friends. All the history that went on in that place but now its just mystery. What happened on the last day and why did they leave all their science displays. Why didn't they take their stuff does any one else care enough. Doesn't anyone else want to know what happened long ago?
Asbestos is only dangerous if it is in spores (airborne), lead has to be ingested (probably in the pipes), and mercury is usually airborne. I would like to hope they cleaned out the mercury, but it’s doubtful.
Dude.... this.. thank you for this. I left WMS at the end of 8th grade in 2001... moved to Narragansett... so I never got the chance to go and visit the teachers or anything and then all of the sudden it closed down. Your video has been the best real look into the building i have seen yet. Thank you for doing this. Oh and btw we totally had the same cluster for 8th grade... seeing those classrooms again hit me in the feels. Thank you.
There is an abandoned middle school about 10 minutes from where I live and the school closed for good in 2004 for unknown reasons. Me and my friends went exploring there a few years back and for some reason the power and all the lights were still on. In the school, there were some backpacks, school supplies from students, old 90s computers, and various pictures just lying around. It was like a time capsule of the early 2000s and that will most likely always be forever frozen in that time. While it was cool and intriguing to explore, there was also this weird intense sadness that all of us felt while exploring there, and after we left the building me and my friends just started bawling our eyes out for literally no reason.
Disappointed they didn't even touch the piano to see if it still works. It always saddens me a bit to see abandoned pianos in good condition just rotting away.
Imagine 20+ years from now, you would be happy to see your former school again and reunite with the friends and teachers that stayed there, only to find out that it’s been sitting there for years, rotten and abandoned.
Everyone is sad because we all look back and now realize how old we really are. We remember the good and bad times of our youth and now it really hits home that our youth is a thing of the past.
My jaw dropped when I saw the keyboarding room was shown. Mr. Highcove scared the hell out of me!! The lunch room holy hell. So many memories. I live right down the street, if I look out my living room window now I can see the stone side of the building. So happy you posted this!!!
I can't get over how big your school is! I love all the antique architecture too! It's crazy that that place shut down just two years after you were out!
Or it could be used for law enforcement and military as a shoot house to do tactical operation drills learning to clear buildings during serious situations.
This is an Amazing Feeling when you see get your school book with your photo printed! I think you should go bring all those students who were in that book, show to us!
Yes it does seem large for a middle school but imagine it if they would have kept it as a high school. It would have needed to be that big maybe possibly bigger
the middle school is 100 percent real because i see it every mornin and all my teachers at the new middle school are former employees of that astabilishment
Enies Perez Why was it abandoned? It's seems still in good shape and was in better.. so why was it's just abandoned they didn't close it because books and desks are still left there.
I can't even comprehend how that must feel. The schools I went to are all still in use and they even finished expanding the second elementary school with a second floor after I left for middle school. To go back and find either elementary school I went to or my middle or high schools closed down and completely abandoned, I think that would upset me more than anything else it would make me feel.
Wow the fact that it's abandoned makes it seem like it's from a different time way longer ago than only 7-8 years haha. Great stuff man, love the more uncut style for this!
Who else is like *IM GOING TO MY SCHOOL WHEN ITS ABANDONED* years later LETS GO TO MY SCHOOL NOW *sees whole school still open* HOLD UP ARE WE IN THE RIGHT SCHOOL OR SOMETHIN
My old elementary school was torn down about a year ago. I explored that school so much when I used to go there. Going up into the attic and back behind the stage. So many memories of that school. It's too bad...
I went and took pictures of mine at different times of the demolition. They tore it down so quickly, I was thinking that they would tear it down in the summer but nope, right in the middle of January 2016!
I am 6 years late and here to clown you on the fact that was a lava lamp you're holding at 6:07 ahahahah loving this I just came from sam and Colbys video about the lyman school for boys. and before that queen Mary and the conjuring. I missed this era of great RUclipsrs happy to be here
i love discovering abandoned places like this. it makes me wonder, "why is this abandoned?", "who's stuff was this belong to?", "Are the people that have went here still alive?". Its very fun, sad and nostalgic at the same time.
The_leaning_tiger2 Well obviously i knew about this place. I was reffering to other cool abandoned places around the world. My fav is abandoned schools and amusement/water parks.
How to get a free year book so you don’t have to pay 1million dollars 1: wait until school is abandoned 2 : go to school 3 : search for school year book There you go you may not always find the yearbook tho just a chance you gotta take
I have fond memories of each of the schools I've been through, each for better or worse. Unfortunately, my old Elementary school was closed down (but luckily, not abandoned). I'd relish the opportunity to walk through and say hello to any of the teachers who've been there while I was growing up. Many of them don't use social media, but I hope they're all living wonderful lives, and if not, I hope those who are no longer here with us were able to live peacefully, knowing how many lives they've changed. Man, how simple, lucky, and wonderful of a childhood...
My high school isn't even this large- But funny, half of my school was built a 14 years later. In 1928. The half was built when the school before still remained. But the main school at the time was burned down. There was an accident and the whole main school was reduced to rubble. After the incident the rest of my school was built. Then in 1960 there was a gym added to it. There have been multiple deaths at my school, of course those are just rumors or legends if you will. I'm a senior this year and me and my class will be the last graduating from the building. A new school is getting built near and once it's built my school will be destroyed. It's weird. And honestly a bit sad knowing what's here now, won't be in the next year. My school is also a fallout shelter. ((I seen those signs around in this school)) But also, your school reminds me of Outlast-
My school was first built in 1923 with the auditorium then our north gym got built in 1935 then another add on got built in 1963 then in 1999 the cafeteria and another section were built then in 2000 the South gym and library were added and its only half the size of this one
honestly i thought the same thing, maybe they finished up at that school before winter break (date on the white board maybe?) and they had the kids start at the new school after winter break? maybe they knew they were leaving so they didnt see a point in cleaning up anything bc they werent coming back? i have so many questions hahaha
I found that interesting too and a lot of the textbooks looked brand new in the 6th grade part. They probably got all new things at the newly built middle school
@@StarWarsfan-kg2xq Yes but my school isn't a ordinary school. We have no electronics, No backpack and plus we have staff that looks into our things for " Safety hazards " We have no principle or any of that we have no cheer, We have no music class, anything that a regular school has, We don't have that. And we have therapy at the end of school and plus, We are provided to go on the school bus. Which sucks.
Good for you on taking your yearbook. You dont know how much I wish I could get one of mine from high school and middle school. We never thought it would matter and now we want them to look back on.
I have managed, after 25 years, to get at least one copy of every single yearbook ever made from both of my high schools, from eBay. That was expensive, but it's cool to have. I have a copy of all of my mom's yearbooks and one of my dad's. He was born in 1928.
Man you are just like me! I’m a 24 year old woman and I LOVE memories like you. And 6th grade to 8th grade were the best times of my life. I met my soulmate at that time too (even tho we are not together now). But i freaking LOVE to explore old places that I used to be at. My middle school is still there and it’s still used. But I did drive by there during school hours and take pictures of the outside. I LOVE how excited you are to be there and explore old memories. I’m the same way man. The same way. I’m glad you got to go there. ❤️
Man just imagine coming back to your Middle School YEARS later with all of those memories left behind at what was once a happy pleasureful school and images and nostalgia, now just a shell of what it used to be, completely empty and abandoned.
As much as I hate school, I would break down in tears if I saw my school abandoned, ruined and empty. All my memories. All the flashbacks. All the images of me and my friends. I now understand what people mean by “I miss school, I wish I was your age to go to school”

I was bullied in school so I probably wouldn’t care lol. But I would feel sad about how the school is sitting their rotting, and abandoned.

Sethohoss777 very true
Sethohoss777 I explored all forbidden areas on my last day of school and then the teacher areas when i became a substitute teacher there
Sethohoss777 My mom was a teacher, so I used to be in those areas a lot. It was nice.
*imagines self breaking every rule*

Your video has been the best real look into the building i have seen yet. Thank you for doing this.
Oh and btw we totally had the same cluster for 8th grade... seeing those classrooms again hit me in the feels. Thank you.
SamiSioux wait r u serious
SamiSioux wait that’s wms
SamiSioux i go to wms now
Benjamin Marshall You can’t unless it’s a different school which it probably is
Benjamin Marshall Wdym?? It’s not this one because it’s taken down you’re probably speaking about a different one.
There is an abandoned middle school about 10 minutes from where I live and the school closed for good in 2004 for unknown reasons. Me and my friends went exploring there a few years back and for some reason the power and all the lights were still on. In the school, there were some backpacks, school supplies from students, old 90s computers, and various pictures just lying around. It was like a time capsule of the early 2000s and that will most likely always be forever frozen in that time. While it was cool and intriguing to explore, there was also this weird intense sadness that all of us felt while exploring there, and after we left the building me and my friends just started bawling our eyes out for literally no reason.
The word you're looking for there is "grandfather"
braidenis haha
it's an easy way to show which side the grandfather was on though.
braidenis why does it matter? It's just a different way of saying it
Alice Cipher well 173 people think it matters so
The other word he was looking for was many... There were so many Kids, Not so much kids.
“Nothing beats coming home”
I hope someone gets this reference.
blessed

Disappointed they didn't even touch the piano to see if it still works. It always saddens me a bit to see abandoned pianos in good condition just rotting away.
Panzer Man XD what??
Panzer Man
It definitely is saddening.
Panzer Man right!! If I ever saw one I would see if it works or take it home or something it’s so sad!😞💕
Panzer Man SAME I WAS LIKE “PLAY IT”

Love it josh. I was excited with you going around your school that was fabulous and Fairplay you deserve your yearbook it’s yours
*I'm already scared when I walk in a normal school*
S A M E
Bro so am I
be the quiet kid and get millitary clothing
Lol and I thought I was the only one. Its a freaky place.
YESSSSSS SAME(ʘ言ʘ╬)
Imagine 20+ years from now, you would be happy to see your former school again and reunite with the friends and teachers that stayed there, only to find out that it’s been sitting there for years, rotten and abandoned.
Fifty years for me. I'd love to hop in a time machine and go back for a visit.
Everyone is sad because we all look back and now realize how old we really are. We remember the good and bad times of our youth and now it really hits home that our youth is a thing of the past.
So true.
Glad you found your yearbook!
It's literally like one school day....everyone decided to get up and leave and never return...
It's so weird...
ülianna I'm pretty sure it happened during Christmas break
ülianna
i fucking love you profile picture
ülianna f u little bitch get those swastikas out of here ugly ass
ülianna that profile picture is literally the worst thing rn because I'm watching Anne Frank😂
This has the vibe of sneaking around school on parents evening
I forgot about doing that lol
Yes.
My school used to be an airport. There is literally a 1980s Boeing 777 fuselage in the field.
drpdrp Sheit
drpdrp lucky
drpdrp Because they ran out of school bus?!

drpdrp wow...
My jaw dropped when I saw the keyboarding room was shown. Mr. Highcove scared the hell out of me!! The lunch room holy hell. So many memories. I live right down the street, if I look out my living room window now I can see the stone side of the building. So happy you posted this!!!
thank you!!
OKAY BUT DID NO ONE NOTICE THAT THE FIRST ONE OF THE VOCAB WORDS AT 13:47 IS "ABANDONED" AHHH wtf holy shit that's insane!!!!
Oh shit
Did you notice the fallout shelter sign on the wall??
pachidiplax MAGA The school was built around the time of WW1 so I guess it was normal back Then.
Hailey Gurkin no it’s just fake
Creepy...
I can't get over how big your school is! I love all the antique architecture too! It's crazy that that place shut down just two years after you were out!
the GOOPER it's a waste of building material to just let a school sit there and rot until it falls apart
Anesha Burgess Yep, I agree.
Yeah this city needed a big school like this because theres a lot of students i might explore this school one day
When you get free year books without paying, Hell yeah!
Yeah, id do that because my school charges like 70 dollars for a yearbook. And surprisingly enough people legitly bought them too.
DJ Deez same 😂
angel cat I get free yearbooks cause its with our application
Lexi Morr same
angel cat uh i had to pay 26 dollars for mines
Dude that's insanely cool finding all of these old stuff and also being able to go to areas you were once restricted
i hope they rebuild and make it a homeless shelter or hotel
He should make the judge of that
That would be a bad idea let other people see it.
It’s filled with asbestos, lead, and mercury
SWAT NATO they cant
Or it could be used for law enforcement and military as a shoot house to do tactical operation drills learning to clear buildings during serious situations.
This is an Amazing Feeling when you see get your school book with your photo printed! I think you should go bring all those students who were in that book, show to us!
This school is HUGE! And it looks so strange like time just stopped one day
Yes it does seem large for a middle school but imagine it if they would have kept it as a high school. It would have needed to be that big maybe possibly bigger
Tamaulipas Mexico hi
the middle school is 100 percent real because i see it every mornin and all my teachers at the new middle school are former employees of that astabilishment
Enies Perez Are you sure you're in middle school establishment starts with an E fam it's good though
Enies Perez Why was it abandoned? It's seems still in good shape and was in better.. so why was it's just abandoned they didn't close it because books and desks are still left there.
I can't even comprehend how that must feel. The schools I went to are all still in use and they even finished expanding the second elementary school with a second floor after I left for middle school. To go back and find either elementary school I went to or my middle or high schools closed down and completely abandoned, I think that would upset me more than anything else it would make me feel.
did you have a stroke while typing that?
Josh, your enthusiasm for exploring is a breath of fresh air on RUclips! Can’t believe I’m just finding your channel!
Wow the fact that it's abandoned makes it seem like it's from a different time way longer ago than only 7-8 years haha.
Great stuff man, love the more uncut style for this!
probably cause it's such an old building as well
yeah good point 👍
treue
true
it was so fun also because of the personal connection (=
15:00 is when they discuss finding the year book! Yw.

My old elementary school was torn down about a year ago. I explored that school so much when I used to go there. Going up into the attic and back behind the stage. So many memories of that school. It's too bad...
I went and took pictures of mine at different times of the demolition. They tore it down so quickly, I was thinking that they would tear it down in the summer but nope, right in the middle of January 2016!
Panic! at the twenty øne fall outs

i love discovering abandoned places like this. it makes me wonder, "why is this abandoned?", "who's stuff was this belong to?", "Are the people that have went here still alive?". Its very fun, sad and nostalgic at the same time.
Dania Lilac abandoned due to lead and mercury
The_leaning_tiger2 Well obviously i knew about this place. I was reffering to other cool abandoned places around the world. My fav is abandoned schools and amusement/water parks.
2009.
these 6,7,8th graders already graduated
Dania Lilac well because there was lead paint and asbestos
Places like these tell stories. Wonderful and mysterious stories
Wow, the first vocabulary word at 13:47 is "Abandoned."
Yeahh
Oop
XD
"hoax"
The teachers probably knew it was closing, and they taught everyone
Is nobody gonna talk about how he said he puts ketchup on his pizza
Pizza is technically already ketchup tho
No it has the same stuff
Matt Bassett i love ketchup on pizza.. Is it weird?
@@aapo3814 hell yeah its weird wtf is wrong with you
@@noaht7778 what's wrong with you
I could not imagine the nostalgia he’s having especially the yearbook omg !
The school looks like it got shut down in the middle of everything like everything looks neat and untouched
At least now they won't get yelled at for running in the halls,being to loud or smoking in the bathroom
It got shut down due to gas leaks and other toxic things
How to get a free year book so you don’t have to pay 1million dollars
1: wait until school is abandoned
2 : go to school
3 : search for school year book
There you go you may not always find the yearbook tho just a chance you gotta take
ool
There were free in middle school I think
Boo
My school gives us the yearbook for free
@@btris3674 mine cost $60

Thats my birthday
I have fond memories of each of the schools I've been through, each for better or worse. Unfortunately, my old Elementary school was closed down (but luckily, not abandoned). I'd relish the opportunity to walk through and say hello to any of the teachers who've been there while I was growing up. Many of them don't use social media, but I hope they're all living wonderful lives, and if not, I hope those who are no longer here with us were able to live peacefully, knowing how many lives they've changed. Man, how simple, lucky, and wonderful of a childhood...
My high school isn't even this large-
But funny, half of my school was built a 14 years later. In 1928. The half was built when the school before still remained. But the main school at the time was burned down. There was an accident and the whole main school was reduced to rubble. After the incident the rest of my school was built. Then in 1960 there was a gym added to it. There have been multiple deaths at my school, of course those are just rumors or legends if you will. I'm a senior this year and me and my class will be the last graduating from the building. A new school is getting built near and once it's built my school will be destroyed. It's weird. And honestly a bit sad knowing what's here now, won't be in the next year.
My school is also a fallout shelter. ((I seen those signs around in this school)) But also, your school reminds me of Outlast-
My school was first built in 1923 with the auditorium then our north gym got built in 1935 then another add on got built in 1963 then in 1999 the cafeteria and another section were built then in 2000 the South gym and library were added and its only half the size of this one
So did they just pack up and leave one day without taking anything away or wiping the board?
honestly i thought the same thing, maybe they finished up at that school before winter break (date on the white board maybe?) and they had the kids start at the new school after winter break? maybe they knew they were leaving so they didnt see a point in cleaning up anything bc they werent coming back? i have so many questions hahaha
Leah Jane exactly
I don’t think they would care to wipe the boards if no one will see them
And the books open on desks etc, they just left for the day without taking their books and papers with them? I’m so curious about it all!
I found that interesting too and a lot of the textbooks looked brand new in the 6th grade part. They probably got all new things at the newly built middle school
It’s probably hard having your whole childhood being torn apart.
Naw... i’ll be happy if my middle school is abandoned
Playbrostuff Yes, I totally agree! I hate my school. No electronics are allowed. Fuck my school.
No it’s school
@@StarWarsfan-kg2xq Yes but my school isn't a ordinary school. We have no electronics, No backpack and plus we have staff that looks into our things for " Safety hazards " We have no principle or any of that we have no cheer, We have no music class, anything that a regular school has, We don't have that. And we have therapy at the end of school and plus, We are provided to go on the school bus. Which sucks.
CherriBliss 524 you not going to a school. You going to a prison
Good for you on taking your yearbook. You dont know how much I wish I could get one of mine from high school and middle school. We never thought it would matter and now we want them to look back on.
I have managed, after 25 years, to get at least one copy of every single yearbook ever made from both of my high schools, from eBay. That was expensive, but it's cool to have. I have a copy of all of my mom's yearbooks and one of my dad's. He was born in 1928.
im still waiting for him to find his yearbook
Same bruh
PONYAMNA 123 it’s more of like the end
15:15
Same
Me2
but why is this school closed? like its really big and I dont understand why anyone cant use it anymore. its such of waist of space and money
He does say in the vid but I'll tell you, it's due to poisonous chemicals pretty much and asbestos (think that's how you spell it)
@@wellhither3000 thanks :D I thing I've miss that fact
Lead and mecury basicly it kills you and its in the wall
My brothers school was abandoned and i dont know why but he is an Adult now
I mean, they are fine now walking through...if it was cleaned up a bit more I think it could be used once more
Let's pray for the unnoticed bottle to be noticed 🙏🙏🙏
11:19
I noticed it
Same
Ew it's full 😕
Lol
Poor bottle
Seeing an abandoned place creeps me out a LOT
since you have your yearbook could you show us the picture of the student,you friend, who threw your papers out of the window
Luna Shine he probably won't for safer reasons
Sesh Gaming safer reasons?
Gastank502 keeping I.D safe
Mr. E just like how you kept all the other IDs he showed safe right

“I’d get my ketchup for the pizza”
Wait, thats illegal
I thought I was weird for using ranch
I’d dip the crust in ketchup
I do that-
Yall are nasty oh my god
This is beyond illegal
Imagine transforming this place into a house. DAMNNNN
Yea with asbestos and mercury and stuff
Well they’d obv clean it out...
Caiden Magill they’d probably end up hiring at least 100 people
You'd be wondering which bathroom to enter? 30 bathrooms For 30 days.
no
Man you are just like me! I’m a 24 year old woman and I LOVE memories like you. And 6th grade to 8th grade were the best times of my life. I met my soulmate at that time too (even tho we are not together now). But i freaking LOVE to explore old places that I used to be at. My middle school is still there and it’s still used. But I did drive by there during school hours and take pictures of the outside. I LOVE how excited you are to be there and explore old memories. I’m the same way man. The same way. I’m glad you got to go there. ❤️
The best thing is, you don't get clickbaited
its awesome
