- the morning the Euro was implemented; I can recall dashing to an ATM with mother and smelling the crisp, new banknotes.
- the first kiss I shared with Isaac. ♡
- catching my breath outside a Parisian café whilst listening to the Romani boy with a cello on the Champs-Élysées.
- baking chocolate rice krispie cakes as a child, and having my photograph taken with a face concealed with chocolate.
- absorbing book after book on summer afternoons with my mother whilst slurping ice lollies on the balcony.
- the time I turned up to school intoxicated, and later found myself dancing to Gold on the tables in Greek class.
- Elka, Maartje and I's trip to the Reichstag in Berlin.
- the time my former English teacher told me, as I went unaccompanied to collect my satchel, that I was exceptionally talented and proficient in English for my age.
- spending a week in Walloonia, Belgium, and actually being able to hold a conversation with the locals in French!
- attending Eurovision in Düsseldorf and Malmö.
- coming out as bisexual, and being pleasantly surprised by everyone's near-universally positive reactions.
- the time I broke down into tears in the middle of a cafe, and was cheered up by a thoroughly adorable old man who, upon noticing my sorrowful grief, purchased me a slice of cake and a hot chocolate.
- volunteering in a Rotterdam soup kitchen.
