When you place your heart in the palm of someone else’s hand, you are saying “I trust you with my most-prized possession.” You know they can either roll their fingers into a fist and break your heart in pieces; or place their hand on top of their beating heart.
That is the beauty and tragedy of love.
The Grade II* Listed Pont Abermaw (Barmouth Viaduct) a single-track wooden railway viaduct which carries the Cambrian Line across the estuary of the Afon Mawddach near Barmouth, Wales.
The longest timber viaduct in Wales, and one of the oldest in regular use in Britain, Barmouth Bridge was designed by and constructed for the Aberystwyth and Welsh Coast Railway on its line between Aberystwyth and Pwllheli. Work was authorised in 1861, commenced in 1864 and opened in 1867.
Following the discovery of severe corrosion on underwater sections of ironwork, an intensive restoration programme was performed between December 1899 and late 1902. By 1980, the viaduct was under attack by marine woodworm, which led to concerns that it would have to be closed and demolished. Because of its value to tourism, it was repaired between 1985 and 1986, a closure of six months; a weight restriction and ban on locomotive-hauled trains were also introduced. These restrictions have been relaxed since 2005.
The viaduct, between Morfa Mawddach and Barmouth stations in Gwynedd, is used by rail, cyclists and pedestrians and is part of the National Cycle Route 8. Tolls were collected for foot and cycle traffic up to 2013 but this has been voluntary since 2017. To allow the passage of tall ships, the bridge incorporated a drawbridge, which was replaced between 1899 and 1902 by a swing bridge, which is no longer operational due to a lack of use.

"There are layers of you that you’re not showing,” he said.
“There’s more to you than you’d like to admit. I’ve scratched the surface, but barely, and I want to know more. There’s a lot to you and as time passes, I hope you show me the other sides of you. You will open up, and I will love each part of that as well."

I honestly have not been able to do much photography related due to being in a deep depression. But I'm just gonna go ahead and attempt to finish this project anyway. It feels great to shoot something again though.
Also, since I have been away, I mainly post on my other social media shown within this description. If you're interested in knowing what I do and crap, go ahead and follow my weird journeys.

Yn gynnar yn y 18fed ganrif, pentref bychan bach oedd Pontypridd (<Pont-y- tŷ-pridd). Codwyd y bont gyntaf yma dros afon Taf gan William Edwards yn 1746 ond fe’i chwalwyd gan lif y dŵr wedi storm fawr. Yn ei lle cynlluniodd bont newydd, un ag un bwa yn lle tri, ond byrhoedlog iawn fu hon. Ceisiodd y drydedd waith, ond eto fe fethodd y bont, a syrthio i’r afon. Y bedwaredd bont yw’r bwa presennol (1756), unwaith yn rhagor o waith Edwards. Profodd hon yn llwyddiant am i’r tyllau crwn ar bob ochr ysgafnhau’r adeiladwaith a’i gwneud yn gadarnach. Mae sôn hefyd fod ar un adeg ryd y gellid ei defnyddio pan fyddai’r dŵr yn isel iawn.

Mestr-oberenn William Edwards. Teir gwezh e voe savet pontoù gantañ amañ. Pep pont avat a oa kouezhet er stêr. Ar pevare pont gantañ eo hemañ eta. Deuet e oa a-benn da skañvaat ar frammadur dre raktresañ an toulloù a bep tu.

William Edwards-ek zubi hau eraiki zuen, toki honetan eraiki zuen beste hiru zubiak erori eta gero. Nahiz eta arazo handiak izan, ez zuen bere gogoa aldatu eta azkenean lortu zuen.

The fourth bridge to be built at this spot over the Taf. The first three bridges here by William Edwards collapsed, but determined not to be beaten by the problems he faced, he successfully designed this in 1756.

It's been 8 months since you've passed.
It's crazy how fast a soul can be transformed. I don't think you were necessarily taken from this world, in a way you were transformed into a different type of Beauty. I still see you in little moments - you are not past tense and I don't think you or any of us ever will be. I still see you in the sunsets and the flowers and little moments where I just say our little pet names in my head. You're still around, you're just spread wide. Instead of all that wonderful matter that you were made of being inside one body, it is now in us all and all around us. Your beauty was dispersed and we all get to have a little piece of you. I miss you, but I don't think you're gone, I don't think you're gone at all.
It’s not that I miss him, aching for him, or even the thoughts of never kissing him again.
He just had something else, an essence if you will, and? That’s what made me chase him, this is why I am still filled with nostalgia about the ordeal.
This is why I have never moved on. This is why, why I ask again, for you to come back, come back and tell me, to once again, to put down my pen.
Barmouth in Gwynedd, North Wales.
It lies on the estuary of the River Mawddach and Cardigan Bay and is located in the Historic county of Merionethshire. The Welsh form of the name is derived from "Aber" (estuary) and the river's name, "Mawddach".
The town grew around the shipbuilding industry, and more recently as a seaside resort. Notable buildings include the medieval Tŷ Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Tŷ Crwn roundhouse prison and St John's Church.
William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, described it thus: "With a fine sea view in front, the mountains behind, the glorious estuary running eight miles inland, and Cadair Idris within compass of a day's walk, Barmouth can always hold its own against any rival."
Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which is located east of the town on the adjoining hillside, was the first tract of land to be donated to the National Trust.

The unwritten rule is, if you leave someone, you must leave them all behind. You must take everything with you so there is nothing left for them to keep going back to. If you're going to rip something, let all the pain hurt at once so they can be left alone to heal without your interruption. No one wants to get caught when they have gotten so far.
And, if someone is leaving you behind, remind yourself that you are not falling behind but merely learning and moving forward. You leave their suitcases in what you used to call home and run. You run as fast as you can before they take it back. You don't turn around for them to open old wounds with new hands; because they are leaving you, you must be left, and you get up to leave as well.

Some nights, I miss you, but I've stopped wanting you.
I found myself reminiscing about the moment i couldn't stop laughing, how free I was when I ran into the sunset behind your building, and the serenity of midnights in your room.
Some days I think about the person you could have been, the people we could have been if timing wasn't a factor and circumstances weren't so strange.
It's made me realize that it was never just you I missed-it was me. I missed the boy I was before you, the one who believed in himself, one without long nights and romance without false hope.
Some nights, I still miss him, but I've stopped wanting him back when I found myself after you.
