It's a 209-acre recreated living museum village in Old Bethpage, New York (Long Island). There are 51 preserved and seven reconstructed buildings arranged to simulate a typical mid-19th-century Long Island farming village. 20 of the buildings are open to the public where you can actually tour the inside complete with antique, historic furnishings. Powell Farmhouse is the only structure originally located at the site. Costumed actors provide demonstrations of 19th-century life...And they REALLY commit! Blaze is an immersive exhibition of hand carved pumpkins, and displays set on a historic landscape complete with ambiance, history and sounds to create an atmosphere you'll have hell and all trouble getting a goth to leave.

Part of this video was shot with my camera which has no capacity for night photography and then my husband handed me his phone...which as it turns out is BRILLIANT for it.
This was shot at Moonlight Market on Long Island, NY. There are a few great vendors that I missed due to the low light issues however - I got a go pro for my birthday so the next outdoor happenings are going to shine like the top of the chrysler building! (10 points if you get the reference)

As kids were little sponges soaking up and absorbing everything around us. We learn by example and as it goes with nature vs nurture - If all we see is instability and the inability to cope with stressful situations, that's what we're going to take away from it. I can categorically state that drugs shaped and ruined much of my life yet I've never even touched them. I'm not special as there are millions just like me. It would be one thing if their actions only effected themselves but that's never the cause. There are always others caught in the crossfire.
I'm no stranger to story times however talking about things such as eating disorders is uncharted territory however I felt compelled to do so due to the resurgence of Y2K fashion. It's triggering in particular to me because this is the period that caused my disorder in the first place and the more I talk about it the more I find that I'm one of many that was affected by this era. This is the very first (and likely only) time I've ever discussed this on my channel. As such I'm unfamiliar with the culture behind this type of content.
In my usual style, if you've watched my videos I'm quite fond of story times and have a very particular way of expressing myself and that is by being descriptive by nature in order to paint and elaborate picture for the viewer. An alarming fact that's been brought to my attention is that people may be viewing my story as an instruction manual due to my descriptive method of sharing my stories. This is a follow up detailing the bits I left out that I thought might be triggering by now I realize they need to be heard. Pain and gross behavior is nothing to want to compete with.
Song: Kevin MacLeod - Comfortable Mystery 4
As I spoke about my experience I found that I was not the only one negatively effected by the toxic body image of the early 2000's. The pressure to be underweight was very real and it was everywhere. My story is in no way meant to be diet advice -- Just because it worked, doesn't mean it's right. What I did was in no way healthy, it was very much an eating disorder and it was dangerous. I endured the physical pain of it because I thought it was normal and to this very day my health has been impacted and has never been the same.

After a long hiatus due to a myriad of personal crap I may have been absent from YouTube but I was definitely still very much present on social media and I've seen some things that shocked me. What disturbed me the most is the amount of racism I witnessed from some of the goth community online in response to BLM. Holy CRAP did that bring out some true colors...Some had even claimed that the people of color have no place in the subculture and that's just straight up horse sh**.
No one race pioneered the goth scene. Everyone took part and every race and culture was represented and still is to this very day. Anyone who dares say that it wasn't is basically telling you that not only are they a bigoted ass clown but a massive poseur. We're all united under the cloak of goth and when that cloak closes, we're all black - so suck a butt.
