    Mid 2014 I rented a small villa near Varna with my partner, this was when there was all the sanctions taking effect on Russia. This was when many places producing fruit that weren’t getting exported were just selling it for cheap.

    It has been one of my most vivid memories, good food, coffee, hiking, swimming, with an veeeery slight ominous sense of looming dread under the surface.

    I’m fortunate to have a few happy memories!

    A really happy one is dancing at a nightclub with my mates age 16, the lights were going and we were excitedly cheering.

    Last year me and my BFF went on holiday together. There was one day we were knackered so we stayed in and watched telly, we were doing stupid voices and commentary to the TV show and eating loads. It was great.

    I’ve got a few clients I’ve got really happy memories of getting good results as well.

    I’m lucky to have a few!

      That’s a really great memory! Sounds like you got out at the right time as well. It’s such a good feeling when you find your people, and you’ve got such lovely memories

        It was a case if the right place, right time … since then every hobby I’ve tried has been chasing that, but I’ve not yet found the right thing.

        Have you ever had that feeling?

    I’m trans and shortly after I came out to my Mom I asked her what baby girl names she had picked out for me when she was expecting. During her pregnancy her doctors had told her she was going to have a girl, and turns out they were right! So I wanted to choose a name for myself from the options she had come up with at the time. So I got to pick a name that I loved, and she still got to name her daughter. It’s one of my happiest memories!

      I love this story! You got to have the true name you should have been given at birth, and your mom got to name her baby girl. It’s lovely ❤️

    Visiting Corfu in Greece! 😃 I live in a colder country so I instantly felt the heat hit me the moment I walked out of the plane… I visited this place aptly named Emerald Island and it was so, so wonderful to visit. I can’t remember what beach this was but I rented some paddleboats and caught some fishes. The night life is fantastic too. I lost track of how many geckos I saw. There was a cafe on Messonghi beach and I loved jumping off of the pier there and diving into the water after eating lunch. I stayed in a place that was on the mountainside and I never needed an alarm, because the roosters would wake me up!

    Such friendly people too!

        Highly recommend it to anyone interested in either visiting Europe or travelling to another country in it! Just be careful of the mosquitos. I barely got any bites at all, but I did see people who got bit all over!
