The first one just gives off such a “back of the car” vibe. Like you just stayed at after school club for a few hours and you get picked up by your parents and you get driven home in the dusk. That just fills me with such nostalgia and relaxation it’s just so nice. 😌

Pov: It's the 2000's and your parents are driving you home from a big event. You sit in the back of the car looking outside the window. The sun has slowly fallen, the lights from the gas station, city and many shops while driving along the roads have become more visible. You don't know where you are but surely the roads leading towards your childhood home are getting closer.

So, liminal spaces are human-made spaces without humans

[@byugoi]

It is interesting how nature without humans is often beautiful, awe-inspiring, relaxing, and inviting. But man-made spaces without humans feel cold, empty, dark, almost threatening. It's a kind of anxiety that arises when you are somewhere you shouldn't be.

[@ThyBoiledOne]

it is but you add a little bit of nostalgia and some feelings that make you remember them in some way then it becomes liminal space

[@Name_67123]

⠀⠀⠀ _No_ its an Aesthetic

[@earthlyezra3791]

No the acaul definition of a limanal space is a transitional space that envokes nostalgia. Although it often is a human made space with no humans

[@V3nd3ttx]

It's essentially a place you feel like you've been before but you know you haven't. Like Deja Vu but in a sort of creepy sense

[@amoscaul3264]

The first time someone paired music that actually felt nostalgic to me (pitchshifting synths, pondering notes) with the vibe these photos give. Thank you for this.

Thats whats strangly peaceful, to me atleast, about Liminal Spaces. For once in my life, I have no expectations, don't need to worry about what I'll say to others, and can think clearly. Hell usually the Liminal Spaces arn't scary its the big scary monster around the corner that is.

It's hard....I know. If you had a happy childhood with warm memories of people and places that once were and are no longer, it's a blessing. I'am blessed with a wonderful childhood myself with family and friends and places I loved, which many are now gone. We can't live in the past though, no matter how much we wish we could. But, knowing we have this place of joy we can go to by simply remembering it or having it triggered by an image or a sound will always be comforting imo.

[@Mex-ge9kj]

Everytime i see a liminal space, it always feels otherworldy, like i shouldnt be there, but also feels like its wanting me to stay and explore the world. Like with the arcade place image, it feels like there should be atleast a janitor there, cleaning the place, but theres nobody there, so its free for you to do whatever you want. Ive always wanted to explore a liminal space before, but the most ive gotten to one is the hall in my house, but seeing these images makes it feel like im there, like its a warm welcome. In summary: thank you for providing these images! :D

[@MasonTC]

This reminded me of this urge to explore the places I've been to in my dreams, like what would it look like over here and there in my dream? And beyond dreams, so many places I've seen when I was younger I really wanted to just explore them freely without a worry.

[@ドーブルX75]

IDK why, but I like this Aesthetic, NGL...

[@tobes8059]

I'm not gonna lie I dont care if anyone reads this or cares but I need to write something and leave it somewhere perhaps someone other than me will know my thoughts. But this gives me such an immense feeling of peace I cant quite explain it. I've been going through a bunch of crap that no non professional can fix but I've convinced myself that when the truth is so simple, no matter how you look at it I'm just extremely lonely. I have family. I have friends. For some reason I cant talk to any of them. I cant leave the house to meet them. I don't know what I'm so scared of, I used to do it all the time, but yet I've still always been lonely. Everyone says these videos are nostalgic but I never feel that. My childhood was just as lonely and empty as I sometimes feel now. This is a weird cousin feeling of nostalgia and longing, but not for the life I used to live but rather one I could live if I wasn't so scared. I haven't really done anything, although looking back I do have good memories. Despite them I've always had this empty feeling that comes back every once in a while and I cant tell if its here to haunt me, or to remind me I'm the only person who can help me, that I'm always gonna be there for me, not anybody else. I wish I went to more places, met more people, spoke up when I couldn't, wore clothes I liked, did so many things if I only could. This probably makes no sense to anyone but I just need somewhere to leave my thoughts because I'm so terrified of being a burden to my friends who I've heen ignoring for reasons I don't quite understand. If anyone reads this I hope you whatever you're going through gets better although I dont think anyone is going to read this. I could have just written this in my diary but this way at least it's out there instead of just in my head. Nobody asked for my sad life story but I guess this just makes it easier to manage. And I still don't quite understand why these videos make it easier for me. These images are empty, lonely, yet it makes me feel so loved, and so at peace. It's a different kind of lonely. Sometimes I wish I could have one day where there's nobody here. I would go exploring, go places I've never been to, take some amazing pictures. It sucks when you're alone, but it hurts even more when you realise theres 8 billion people out there and you're STILL alone. It would make it a little bit easier to know you're only lonely because there simply isn't anybody else out there, instead of there not being anyone out there for you specifically. I know this isn't a way go fix things. I still sometimes wish I could just be. No expectations, no fear, no anxiety, no feeling like people are watching me, no constant pressure to make all these life altering decisions. It'd be kinda nice to be able to get away from all of it, without being watched and pressured and judged. Just lay in the middle of a parking lot and exist without the world being angry at you for not being capable of functioning as an adult

[@pyromaniac9076]

Im not here to tell you things are gonna get better because im sure you heard it all before and it hasn't helped. Im just here to tell you that I care about you. Even though I dont know you personally, I love you, as weird as it may sound. I love that you took the time to say this even though you assumed no one would even see it. I hope it helps knowing that we could be alone together in our heads. I'll think of you when im feeling lonely, and maybe, you'll think of me. I hope it helps knowing that someone out there in your lonely world can relate and understands.

The first one sent me back into my childhood days... Like, it's summer break, and your up early in the back of the car watching the street lights pass as you and your family are driving to get to the beach or go to the airport to get to your vacation destination... The fog is still lingering in the cool summer morning air, the dew on the car windows is still there and will be there until the early rays of sunlight slowly creep over the tree lines

[@kaleholt]

[@brody2649-d6m]

For me, liminal spaces make me feel as if I'm in some sort of apocalyptic event. The lack of people, the abandoned feel many of the spaces give off, and the way the areas make you feel as if you wandering places you don't usually dwell or spend much time in really bring out an "apocalyptic" feeling.

This video brings me the exact vibes I get from liminal spaces. I don't understand why people try to make them scary. To me, they look like a glimpse of a happier life. One filled with comforting memories. A form of escapism to avoid the harsh reality of life. Somewhere I wouldn't mind disappearing to, to travel and explore endlessly. Thank you for making this

[@dylancollins227]

When I was a boy, I went to a summer camp for children who either had or are going through treatment. One week, once a year. Someplace where you could have fun, with people who truly understood you. Everyone was knit tightly. A family that rivals home. You left Friday and a year later it was if you never left. We sometimes had to say goodbye to our cabin mates because... well, our motto is "until there's a cure, there's a camp." So, you get the idea. I loved it and them with everything I had, but it wasn't enough. As time went on, my memory became more absent. I forgot names to faces that knew what my favorite color and animal is. The more years went one, the less I knew. I was practically family, and I couldn't remember. They were so full of joy to see me, and I felt estranged. It broke me. Tore me to pieces with a dull, rusty blade. I went as a counselor one year, and I realized I never should've came back as a camper. I had cancer as an infant, no memory of it, I wasn't like them. I was a fraud. I feel like I disrespected them. I never told my now distanced "family." And they never asked, it's for the best. The first 15 years of my life are barely a flicker in my psyche. So many memories locked by pain, or never stored to begin with, good memories especially. I still wonder what I was like back then. What's to be nostalgic if it's taken from me. Maybe instead of missing my childhood, I think I just wished I actually had one to begin with.

[@toasts3054]

The music is great. It's like you're wondering this strange dimension... There are nice, nostalgic and unnerving places; you don't know if what you're living is real, but you're just exploring, with the fear of potentially being alone or not alone. It's scary, unknown, but you cannot accept not to investigate it all.

Your parents wake you up in the middle of the night, packing your stuff, dragging your luggage half asleep to the car trunk, then sitting at the back, closing your eyes. Although your eyes are shut, you feel a car moving and highway lights flash every 3 seconds. You open your eye, seeing a dark gloomed city with little crimson light shining from the bottom. Soon, the sound of the flight engine rang across the area, and the feeling of sleepiness disappears, and rather the excitement of your 3 days trip starts to reminisce.
