My favorite memory is 02/12/2021, the day I became a mom to a precious, talented, authentic, and adventurous daughter. She is my everything. Another memory is 11/22/22, the day I met the absolute love of my life💕. These memories make me feel so whole
@InsightfulPhoenix
I'm happy for you, those are 2 wonderful blessings!
@InsightfulPhoenix That's awesome! I'm happy for you. Can relate to those sentiments too (I have my own lil family)! 😊 Hope you and your family are doing fine and Happy (early) Valentine's Day!
One of the "happiest" memories was when I was a child, I didn't have to worry about any responsibilities or worry about taking care of everyone else and everything some people are too tired or either busy of doing. I didn't mind being a girl back then, I'd never cared about being a girl or anything else, I'd felt so joyful and carefree.. but now, it's just.. gone.. done for, I've changed, but not mentally.
@avistaco
Adulthood comes with lot of responsibilities, things to reflect on and conflicts whether internal or external. I hope coming here will help you to find a peaceful path.
When I went on a cruise. It makes me cry because I remember when I was young
@CatHanderOutNoah
I hope those are tears of joy. What did you like most about the cruise?
@amiablePeace77
I would just sit in the kids area and never leave lol
I remember laying in bed with my partner and cuddling, feeling so safe and protected and loved. I didn't have to worry about where my next meal was coming from. My worries were in the distance. I felt like I could finally relax. It was wonderful.
@Zeraphim
It sounds that you found a place in heaven at that time.
@Zeraphim That a really nice feeling. I hope you're able to make more memories with that with your partner. It's an amazing feeling. 💖 Happy (early) Valentine's Day by the way!
@amiablePeace77 I have so many memorable moments in my life. ♡
Kid: Neighborhood block parties. Ahhh, fun times. Making mud pies.
Teen: Experiencing "puppy love" and the whole infatuation phase. 🤣
Young adult: Job Corps moments, clinicals, and all my volunteer experience. I truly had some of my best memories during this time.
Adult: Marriage and the birth of my kids.
@YourCaringConfidant
Nice that you're blessed with memories you enjoy to recall!
Spending time with my brother, sister and nephews in the mountains!
@Aputik
Quality time with loved ones 👍. Did you go hiking or mountain climbing?
Reflecting on the marvel of nature. From something so tiny, life grows.
@Rainboho
I agree, nature is amazing!
@amiablePeace77 a favorite memory that came back to me today was of performing medieval music for a large audience and feeling the rapport with them as they appreciated this piece of history brought to life- today the tune was in my head and I laughed to myself at how the measure of success for a composer in 1250s is for their tune to be an earworm for someone 8 centuries later- bet they never could have imagined that!
@ArgentOwl2021
Wow! Nice that you could recall that wonderful event! I guess the composer would be surprised seeing someone in this time tuning in to their notes!
My sister's bridal shower. The strip club in Canada, while being 6 months pregnant. The music was so loud my daughter kicked all evening. To this day she loves live music.
@tallZebra8032
I could imagine you had lots of fun, sounds your at that time unborn baby daughter as well! 😀
One of my favorite memories is my trip to Orlando Florida with my sisters and friends. I got to go to Universal Studios and have the Harry Potter experience. It was so fun. All the rides and scenery. It makes me feel happy thinking about it.
@sailormoon97
That sounds truly like you had an awesome experience!
