8 year old me: I can’t wait to be an adult, I’m gonna have so much money, and I’ll get to stay up as late as I want.

33 year old me: Fuck this nonsense, I wanna go back to watching cartoons without having to worry about everything else that’s going on in the world.

Since it's spooky season, I'm harking back to being at Bran Castle, Transylvania, last year, aka Dracula's Castle (even though the links to Vlad are actually very tenuous). They go all out with the Dracula myth in this glorious castle, however, a treat for any spooky fan 🤣🤣🦇🦇🦇
