judewrites: That's life, we all grow old whether we like it or not!
I am amazed at how fast time flies....I remember how young I was decades ago and how I'm gradually turning into an old man! 😂 Growing old is the saddest thing about life, I can remember how my mum used to be so young, but now she's over 50 and old, Life sha. |

The recent trend of writing "so, so person was here" didn't start today
Everywhere I looked, dated messages covered the walls, capturing snapshots of a time when this place was full of life. It reminded me how important it is to not only make memories, but to document and date them for the future."

Out of everything, the biggest surprise was finding a sticker celebrating a baby born in 1993 (33 years ago) It was a bit of a shock realizing she’s significantly older than I am!
Looking at it made me wonder where she is today. It really puts life into perspective—nothing is permanent, and the kids of yesterday are the adults of today. It's a powerful reminder to make every moment count. Nobody lives forever

Walking deeper into the factory, I came across a door with a fading sign that read "Office." To my surprise, the space also housed a laboratory, where old chemical equipment still sat untouched on weathered shelves. Nearby, I found a duty roster for the workers and a few old stickers still clinging to the walls.

It felt like stepping into a forgotten world. The factory was so hauntingly silent that my own heartbeat felt loud, punctuated only by the distant, eerie chirping of birds nesting in the rafters.

Driven by my usual adventurous streak, I headed out today to explore an old, abandoned ceramic factory near my place. I first learned about it from a local elderly woman, who told me it opened back in 1974 (exactly 52 years ago) and that her husband used to work there in the 80's
She shared a bunch of stories about how lively the place used to be, bustling with all kinds of people earning a living before it finally shut its doors around 2007.
Listening to her gave me this irresistible urge to sneak inside. I just had to explore it and get a firsthand sense of what it felt like when the machines were running, how the employees worked, and what their daily lives were like.
