Château de Noisy, Celles, Houyet, Namur, Belgium (via missionabandoned)
Le Château de Noisy (also named Château Miranda) was built by the English architect Milner in 1866 as a summer home for the family of the Count of Liedekerke-Beaufort. The family stayed there until World War 2, when the castle was briefly occupied by the Nazi’s. In 1958, the NMBS (the Belgian railroad company) used it as a home to shelter the railroadmen’s children and wives.
Since 1991 the building is abandoned. The village of Celles tried several times to buy the castle and its ground but the family doesn’t want to take distance of the castle. The building has over 500 windows, which are almost all shattered along with several of the staircases inside. There is still a clock tower of 56 meters tall. The castle is popular amongst urban explorers.

Life’s like a movie, write your own ending
Keep believing, keep pretending
We’ve done just what we set out to do
Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you.

Oh, you should never, never doubt what nobody is sure about. WE are the music makers… and WE are the dreamers of dreams.

I don’t know if the optimists or the pessimists are right. But the optimists are going to get something done.

They say the bigger your investment, the bigger your return. But you have to be willing to take a chance. You have to understand, you might lose it all. But if we take that chance, if you invest wisely, the payoff might just surprise you.

The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

I have passionately fallen in love with Life — despite all of its complexities, compromises, and contradictions — and Life has passionately revealed how much I’m loved, in spite of mine. Believe me, you will never find a lover who will adore, desire, caress, embrace, and delight you more than Life.

You are the first person I think of when I wake up every morning and you are the last thing I think about before I fall asleep every night. And most nights, you show up in my dreams.

For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 .

Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad, but it’s the middle that counts the most. Try to remember that when you find yourself at a new beginning. Just give hope a chance to float up. And it will…
