We got in touch with Lillie Marshall, a teacher and veteran traveler with a self-confessed love of the liminal to learn more.

Red sprites...they occur above thunderstorms about 50 miles up. Very cool.

Bored Panda got in touch with Lillie Marshall, a teacher and traveler from Aroundtheworldl.com who has spoken to us about liminal spaces before. We wanted to hear more of her thoughts on this matter, so we asked her to share some personal stories about them.
“Until I went through it recently, I never realized how profound a liminal space (or liminal time) the divorce process can be. You are halfway between being married and not married, and it completely throws everything for a loop!”

You’ll take any friend you find find after the apocalypse…you just need to set the bar really low.

It's quite simple: If you're being chased by a pack of coyotes, learn to levitate.
“There are many of the same eerie and surreal feelings evoked during a liminal time like this as there are for classic physical liminal spaces -- and also the same potential for deep growth, development, and learning as you move to that next chapter,” she shared. This got us wondering about the idea of other liminal “things” that aren’t necessarily just creepy rooms.

They're insanely creepy anyway. They get a transmission, their antenna straightens up, they roll around on the ground all happy. The transmission ends, and they go smoke a cigarette.
“As I recently wrote in my article about life transitions, every major life transition we go through -- be it positive or challenging -- is a liminal space that can be scary. I really urge people to start identifying liminal times in their life (not just physical liminal spaces) and to reach out to get extra support during those months or years. Self-care strategies such as meditation and exercise can help move the energy through during those transitions as well.”
“A liminal time is essentially a life transition: You are leaving one chapter of your life, and entering another, but not there yet. For example, the teen years are a liminal time because you are between child and adult. That is an example that lasts for many years, but you can also have a shorter moment in time that is a liminal moment or liminal state.”

Just thinking about that light going off and hearing the echoes of me crapping my pants.
“For instance, meditation or Reiki therapy brings you to a state that is neither awake nor asleep, but rather an in-between time during which great growth and processing can happen, to launch you into the next state powerfully.” she shared.
Given her interest in this question, we wanted to hear why Lillie believed “liminal spaces” had become so popular as of late. “I think -- in fact, know -- that liminal spaces have become so popular lately because, as I explained in my liminal space article, they are a wildly exciting space of growth -- with that same thrill of heart-thumping adrenaline that comes from amusement park rides.”

Andrew Wyeth reference? Update: I guess so. I didn't even know the name of the painting; I just guessed at who Christina might be.

When confronted with two out-buildings in the field chose either the one on the left or the one on the right this is a crucial step in proper development you will be graded by the appropriate guidelines as dictated by the fore-fathers amendments will be duly noted and ignored on a basis by basis interpretation all thoughts of practical application will be ignored for the greater good as defined by questionable means now go

Looks like the image you got to focus on, in a machine that measures your eyeballs.
“If you think about it, that moment before a roller coaster dives down the first slope is a liminal space! There is so much possible in those moments of anticipation.” If you want to learn more about liminal spaces, you can check out Lillie’s other article on them and if you just want to feel more uneasy, check out Bored Panda’s articles on creepy stuff or more unsettling spaces.

Loved the story on how they finally figured out what it was. It was the mom, walking away, and her scarf and dress got blown around by the wind.

I didn't think checkerboard went with shiny, bare trees, shades of black, brown and beige squiggles, faux Southwestern Pendleton blanket, light pink paint AND light blue large and small diamonds.

Just don't go there when the zombie apocalypse starts. There's a giant sign hinting them to go there.

Looks like a setup for another rat utopia (don't look it up if you are easily triggered, especially by animal abuse. That experiment was all kinds of messy)

I immediately thought of a Roomba running over a dog turd and dragging it everywhere in the room.

Oh no! A well-lit courtyard at night! I can’t feel safe unless the space is drenched in shadows from at least one burned-out bulb and I need to use my phone as a flashlight

Are we sure this isn't AI or shopped? The logistics don't make any sense.
