Graveyards

Anyone else visit grave yards often? I'm not "goth" like that but I do love me a peaceful graveyard. There is a historical one near me and some of the epitaphs are amazing. "she has done all she could" and "I told you my feet hurt" are my faves.
I love hunting for more clever last words.
I also go there to cry sometimes. One of the few places you can just Cry Cry Cry without anyone thinking you're strange.
I found a grave with my first name as their last so now sometimes I go lay there and sun myself like a lizard contemplating the end of days.
You?

I visit different graveyards and cemeteries, I've always had a fascination with death . Its always so quiet and its always interesting to learn about the many people who have passed. It's why I was a mortician assistant for a time and why I remain so suicidal to this day.

When I started studying Buddhism I realized step 1 is they send students to watch bodies rot on the graveyards to teach them so disconnect from their corporal selves and I was like "well shit I've been there done that I guess call me a monk" lol

Whenever I go back to Ireland I visit my grandparents' graves. It's so peaceful there. And I'm actually named after my grandfather, both first and last name, so there is a head stone with my full name on it. There are some beautiful head stones there, some are very big and ornate, with statues and depictions of Jesus and Mary and Joseph. Usually the epitaphs are just along the lines of "beloved wife and mother" things like that. I like the ones in Irish as well. I've always been passionate about the Irish language so maybe I should request my epitaph be in Irish instead of English.

I like old graveyards. I wish there more in my area. One time my father and I were in an old graveyard in an isolated rural area and I found the grave of an American soldier killed in WWI on November 10, 1918. One day before the Armistice. When I showed it to my father, he wanted to leave at once. Perhaps something "spooked" him, no pun intended.

I've always loved hanging out in graveyards, and visit them whenever I go back to Western cities. I live in India now, so there aren't as many graveyards around, since most Indians are Hindu and Hindus generally cremate.
