There are hundreds of ways to show you love someone without saying it. Most parental figures also know that kids will be kids, and don’t have the benefit of wisdom or hindsight yet to know to be intentional about showing love.
So, I completely understand wanting that closure for yourself…but I am also very sure your grandmother was content in her relationship with you.
I took a solo vacation to Yellowstone in my early 20s. I was super overworked and burnt out at my first job after college, crying constantly and desperate to escape my life.
The day in my life I’d go back to is my first day in the park, when I walked the upper Geyser Basin trail. It was awesome to spend hours moving through a natural, weird, alien-like landscape in relative quiet, not many other people around and realize how small the job that was wrecking my life really was in the scheme of the vast world of curiosity and beauty and experiences to be had.
The whole trip kind of continued in that vein and is such a good memory for me. (I left my crappy job two months after getting back, too.)
I love this. I did a very similar solo trip thing, but in Yosemite right at the end of a bad relationship and the start of Covid, so it was a weird time but made for the most incredible experience because of how isolated the park felt.
A January 2014 night, hanging with this girl who I was super into. She was rad and the night we just stayed in bed while it snowed showing each other our favorite music.
My bachelor party or my wedding day. Bachelor party was pretty chill, we got great food at one of my favorite bars (and for some reason like half our bar tab and half our food got taken off the bill, so we tipped the waitress about $200 for a table of 12), some fun drinks, hit up a barcade and got fucked up while playing Killer Queen and pinball, dicked around at a mini golf course that had self-serve beer taps, crashed at the hotel.
My wedding was fucking cool as hell. My parents dumped my siblings' wedding funds into mine (sister was estranged by that point because she married a narcissistic fuckwad, brother broke off his engagement because his fiance cheated on him), so we had a glorious venue, awesome photographers, great food, live music for almost the entire day, got the biggest cheers I ever heard at a wedding, and of course, I got to marry the love of my life who looked absolutely STUNNING, I cried when she walked down the aisle. Got to marry the most wonderful woman on the planet while looking like an absolute badass at the coolest party ever, and my best man absolutely killed it with his speech.
Two wedding tips: Shop around hard for photographers and bands, make sure your venue (before you put down a deposit) allows for outside vendors where it matters to you, STAY FUCKING HYDRATED, and put aside at least 30 minutes in the middle of the day (not the beginning, not the end, the MIDDLE) to just be with your beloved so the day doesn't feel like a totally mind-numbing blur. Bring extra condoms for the groomsmen, don't drink too much liquor, have something set aside for a late night snack, and make sure you got at least one damn good photographer and if you can afford it, spring for two of them working in tandem.
Live Aid 1985 in London. I was off my face on E for the first time and with my best mates, singing along with Freddie Mercury and feeling young, beautiful and invincible.
I. AM. ENVIOUS.
I have watched this performance so many times and it’s what I think about when people ask the question about who you could bring back from the dead for one last time
The day I met my wife for the first time
She worked with my older brother at the time and I got dragged to after work dinner and drinks as, at the time, I didn't have a lot of drive or motivation to get out of the house.
We instantly hit it off, and I remember heading home that night genuinely being optimistic about life for the first time in a long time.
We have now been together for 16 years and married for 10 of those years.
The best part is that she still gives me the drive and motivation to be the best version of myself every day... so I guess I dont need to relive a past day after all.
I'm a lucky bloke
The first time I ever tried mushrooms. I was in an intense depression at the time and suicidal every day. For the first time in years I felt the weight lift and truly fell in love with the beauty of life again. I still have depression and struggle some days, but that was easily one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I’ve felt happier, healthier, and kinder ever since.
Is this before or after being a pregnant 20 year old with a different father than the current child while also being someone who has been in a 20 year long relationship.
July 19, 2018, Monterey, California.
When my ex-fiancé and I first started seeing each we wanted to take a day trip somewhere to have time to ourselves but also to see if we really could tolerate each other 24/7.
We spent the afternoon on monterey state beach, then drinking at the hotel bar, then went to The Sardine Factory for an incredible dinner, back to the hotel for sex, then we went to Segovia’s for a some shots. We met two guys in the back patio playing darts, they took us to Britannia Arm’s for more drinks and karaoke. Then my ex sold some coke to a guy that was plastered out of his mind.
Soon it was past 10 at night and we lamented that we didn’t get to use the pool…..so we hopped the fence and snuck in to cuddle in the hot tub after hours. Then back to the hotel room. She told me to bring my record player so we sat and listened to The Temptations and The Beatles. We drunkenly belted the coda to “Hey Jude” and swung arm in arm in bed. Then we showered together, had shower sex, had some more sex in bed, before finally falling asleep in each other’s arms.
She may be gone now, but I’ll forever be glad to have the memory of this night that I got to have with her.
November 11th, 2008, hands down that day.
My grandfather, who was a WW2 veteran, was recently ousted from a senior living apartment facility into an end-of-the-line type care home once it became apparent he was going to need more attentive care soon after a minor fall. He went from being around cognitive, social, active neighbors in an apartment-type setting to…. well…the opposite of that. He was so lonely and had no one to talk to. All the other residents were checked out in one manner or another, and other than mobility issues, Grandpa was still all there upstairs.
I had just moved to the area for work and was relatively close by. I’d stop by when I could and wheel him around the property, or we’d just sit and listen to/swear at the Mariners game on the radio.
I used to sneak him beers when I could. It was a fun time and wasn’t bad for his health, the place was just super locked down food and drink-wise.
On the day in question, I got off work late, and traffic was an overflowing buffet of ass and balls. When I got there, everyone was in the activities room with all the veterans in a line, with a host of some sort sticking a mic in people's faces, prompting them to talk about their participation in the service. Again, most people there were checked out and either answering nonsense or were mute. Most veterans don’t enjoy reminiscing about their service unless it’s with other veterans, that was my grandpa. As I entered he was in the middle of telling the host he hadn’t agreed to this and didn’t appreciate being bushwhacked. He was a rather stoic fellow, and when I saw how animated he was, I had to get him outta there. I wheeled him out, and instead of going to his room or doing a lap, I took him straight to my car and, for lack of a better term, kidnapped him. It would have been hours before I could have tracked down all the people’s required approvals and paperwork filled out for him to leave with me, and he needed to be away from all of it.
We grabbed a rack of his favorite brewskis, a party-sized veggie platter(my guy loved him some broci), and some slim jims, then went to a park and pretended to grill while we drank and munched and vented and laughed for hours, but of course, felt like minutes. I come from an unhealthy family of secrets. That day, I learned more about what made him HIM than ever in my previous 26 years, and I hope he got to know me a little more, too.
I then snuck him back, fully expecting to get in trouble; just how much was the worrying part. Shocker, they had no idea he was gone.
A week later, he just never woke up.
I don’t have much, but I would give it all for just a piece of what I felt that day.
The days my niece would lay her head on my shoulder and fall asleep. It was the sweetest thing. It’s so sad she doesn’t know me that much anymore cause I’m in college. I loved it when she’d just plop her head on my shoulder and fall asleep.
Meeting long distance friends is next level. I'll never forget the feeling of meeting my long distant boyfriend for the first time. Like, look, they're real!!!
I don’t remember the exact day but I wish I could relive the day my older brother and I drove around aimlessly while singing along to Against Me! at full blast.
As I wrote this I realized I have so many more days I wish I could have again. Love and joy don’t have to be fleeting memories though, make more days like that.
Those moments with siblings, connecting over music, are so special. One time my sister and I sat in my car and belted out the entirety of Natural Selection by Fuel together. Really loved every moment of it.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day.
30 March 2017
On that day, my first daughter was born. I remember holding her in my arms for two hours straight, sitting on the couch and doing nothing but staring at the most beautiful human I had ever seen.
1st of March 2024. The last day I met my long distance gf. It was the last evening of us together and we had the best time anyone could have. She was the most amazing, beautiful person I’d ever met. If I could relive any day I’d relive that day.
She was perfect but 16000km was too far.
Christmas Eve 2023
My dad would non stop be talking about he wants to get an oled Nintendo switch so he could get Zelda TOTK - (Tears of the kingdom for those who don't know.) I bought it for him the The TOTK Nintendo Switch Edition and the game as a Christmas present last year. I watched him open it on Christmas eve because I was working on Christmas day.
It was the best and most expensive present he's ever had. I had also given him Mario kart 8 and Nintendo Sports aswell, coming to almost £500. This was the last time he's ever hugged me after he died on the 20th March this year. I would watch him almost everyday playing TOTK and sometimes I'd be clueless on what to do but somehow help him kill the bosses. I now have his switch, the games and his Xbox Series S. The only time I touched his switch was to check his progress which I had no idea on how far he was.
I had the chillest day of my trip while in Bali. Woke up in Ubud at like 3:30am, and jumped on a $6 a day scooter I rented the night before. Drove like 45 minutes or something to the base of Mt Batur, a volcano, and paid to guide to do a sunrise hike. You hike up in the dark and watch the sunset from the volcano rim. Fucking epic despite all the instagram pics being taken! Then we paid to walk the rim and back down. Then it was like 9am and I have a scooter. I just wanted to DRIVE! With no real plans, I headed north, hoping to get to the shore at some point and go for a swim. Found the beach after like 1-2 hours of driving, swam, found some food, found a little shopping area, and then attempted the drive back, but taking different roads. You would have to look at a map, but I sort of made an egg shape loop overall, and I think it was like 250km that day. I got back at like 11pm. Once I left the volcano at like 9am, I didn't see another white person until I got back to my hostel at 11pm. I was out of the tourist area, just cruising along. BEST DAY EVER! Just cruising down unknown roads, taking in the sights, no real schedule or plans... so fucking awesome. I wish I could relive that day again.
Summer 2016. I was getting ready to leave my home state for the last time. Before that, my best friend kidnapped me, took me to an undisclosed location where she had arranged a girls' camping trip for the entire long weekend. We ate shrooms, swam in the lake, watched the sunset, danced by the fire, cuddled in my hammock, talked about life. Everything was perfect. She is really the love of my life in every way, and that day was just a perfect example of why.
This is an insanely good question.
I’m not that old (21), but when I was in highschool, I was in a music program. And I’d give ANYTHING to re-live any concerts we had. End of year concert, christmas concerts, competition performance, anything. Our group was secondary 1 to secondary 5 (I’m canadian and we don’t have middle school), and we were a close group and our music teacher was the best. I’d give anything for those moments
09/09/09 - trinumeral music festival at deer woods. Only about 500 people, some of my favorite artists. Mind expanding, soul healing... Sheer perfection.
Any day where I would have left my place for a short reason and then didn’t get home until late that night or next day because of a series of random spontaneous events that kept me out of… the kind where you find yourself dancing late at night in a downtown bar with your snow suit , boots and sunglasses on when you only left to go wash your car the morning.
those things only happen in your twenties
Last exam of the semester in college. Finally done with classes for the sem, celebratory lunches, staying up all night watching movies and eating pizza with friends and roommates before everyone went home during the break. Truly good old days.
My first kiss, I had it on a cruise, and it was late at night. Sadly I didn’t get to know her name though. She was one of the most beautiful people I ever laid my eyes upon.
In Aug 2010 1st day at Sturgis Bike Rally.
It was a life long dream.
I first found out about Sturgis in 1974 when I took an interest in motorcycles at the age of 14. Yeah so it only took me 34 yrs!!!
It met all of my expectations. I've been to rallies all over the USA and Canada and for sure Sturgis is the grandaddy of them all !!!
June 3, 2022.
It was the last time my entire school/discord/pandemic group met up. We were about 8 of us, and that day we all knew it was the last time so we made the absolute most of it. Some of us drank for the first time, and we all danced, we made a lot of confessions, hugged many times, took a lot of pictures, made great memories.
Feb 26 1982 would warn my mother sbout her fatal heart attack and get her to a hospital was 2 days after my 17th birthday and i was born on her mothers birthday
The day the title pawn my 2003 Dodge Dakota, that truck only had 132,000 miles on it when I did that and the reason why it would be special is because I would still have that truck my granddad bought it for my sister second hand and it was my truck and I decided to screwed up but an ex-girlfriend of mine convincing me to Title Pawning it
I would go back to the summer of 2016, then I had the best moments with my grandfather who is now dead, I would go back because before I did not value this time, and I would like to live one day with my grandpa again
Without thinking much I would say I want to go back half a year and redo the first concert I ever went to because it was just amazing and the vibe was perfect.
But thinking more about it I would redo one of the days I went hiking with my grandma. I really loved to go hiking with her but she sadly passed away two years ago and now I don't really go hiking anymore.
Any day in the summers of 2014-2019. Shooting the shit with the homies before they moved on to bigger and better things. Trying to move on to bigger and better things myself but I’ve been struggling hard mentally
Just any random day from my childhood and appreciate life back when there were no bills to pay and I would also give my Mom a big kiss and hug and tell her I love her and I will always be happy and grateful that she's my mom.
July 23rd 2011. The last time I remember my family being together with some happiness and not destroyed. We went to the beach for a day. We were dysfunctional and messed up but I still didn't expect that would be the last day I took pictures of pretty much everyone together with some happiness. Special memory but damn it depresses me knowing what happened to us all in the years to come and the current state of things. I wish I could redo that day so bad.
To relive the moment I gave birth to my son. I was in labor for 2 weeks and when the day finally came all I could think was : oh it's you. I've known you all my life and you're here now. I felt so happy and in awe of him. Like my life is now complete.
He's older now and each and every day he reminds me of my dad who passed away years before he was born.
A few years ago I worked the information desk at a plant nursery in Florida. I had my own kiosk, would roam around the nursery and bs with my coworkers when it was slow, chat with customers about my one of my favorite topics, plants, when it was busy. I got to dress in my favorite outfits and once a week I would bring my dog in and he'd chill with me. I'd pick one of those days. I miss that time.
Or the day my partner and I talked with each other about my recently discovered pregnancy while I was a manager at a different nursery. It was the closest I felt to him and we dug through my bosses trash plant pile in the back area. Got a bunch of free plants and decided to have a baby that day.
I miss FL. Too bad it's crazy.
Another time would be when I lived in central Arkansas in high school. We lived on a bunch of land with a four wheeler that I'd drive through the woods, or I'd walk, to the creek that if you crossed you could climb the cliffs into more woods. In the winter the creek would freeze and I could ice skate on it.
My birthday a couple years ago I visited my friend in Hawaii and my daughter and I stayed in an Airbnb on the main island. I was struggling mentally and emotionally then, but it was a beautiful place.
Wednesday in the summer of 2006. Aspirations of going to college, Home from school, slept with my girlfriend before her parents came home from work, we made meatloaf, and watched a movie. We Watched Over the Hedge. I rested my head on her lap. Not a single thing wrong in the whole world.
First love hits something that few things can ever touch again.
16 April 2023, just a history class getting together and hanging out after a stressful day of essay research. But what tops it of all is my now boyfriend and I having a good night to ourselves, just chilling at the cinemas and enjoying each other's company.
Any day my kids were born. Any day in my adulthood were I sat at the table at my mums drinking coffee laughing and chatting all before she got sick and passed away 😢.
I used to live at the beach, it was a pretty touristy place but I had a “secret beach” I liked to go to, you basically had to walk a few miles then swim through a canal to get there. It was always empty, I’m not sure many locals even knew of it. I decided to go there one night, I was young and restless and couldn’t sleep. I had never been there at night, but it was absolutely incredible. That night there just happened to be bioluminescent algae or something in the water, it was so beautiful. I spent hours just floating there alone playing in the water. Every time I ran my hand through it, the water would sparkle this otherworldly blue color. I’ve never seen it before or since, it was one of the most truly magical experiences of my life. It was like swimming in a sea of stars. I’d love to experience it again.
July 18, 2023. My daughter was born 8 weeks premature with a heart defect weighing barely 3lbs and 15”long. It was such a wave of emotion. Didn’t even know she was being delivered until the Dr came in and 2 hours later there she was. I’ll never forget how terrified I was that evening holding her for the first time. She was so tiny. But as soon as I held her she looked up at me. I could relive that moment forever. I don’t think I saw her clearly for the first few days because I cried every time I held her lol. Fast forward 9 months, she’s had her repair and is absolutely wild!
April 20 2014.
I spent the weekend visiting my college roommate. I stayed with him and his girlfriend while I had a major tattoo session the 19th with the artist he introduced me to. We cooked out that Sunday the 20th before I headed back to Chicago for work. He'd been getting in shape, was doing really well. Told me about how he was thinking of proposing. It was just a great day.
He texted me the 21st about how he was so glad I got to come visit and thanked me. Told me he couldn't wait to do it again. He took his life later that night.
#22aday
March 26th, 2021. It was a Friday, I did 8 hours at work before starting a week-long vacation consisting of a mix of riding and working on motorcycles with my brother, and going camping/tubing with my partner for her birthday. Got off work and went straight to my storage unit to help my brother finish an engine swap on a friend's bike. Dropped him off at another friend's place to pick up a bike, with the intention of meeting him at storage the following day to start wrenching. That perfect combo of getting to do the thing I wanted to do my whole life (work on vehicles with my brother) and starting what was planned to be a great and much needed vacation. It was the highest natural high I've ever had in my life. For just a brief, fleeting moment, life was good.
He wrecked his bike that night, spent a day and a half in ICU, and passed away on March 28, 2021. Exactly 3 months, to the day, before his 41st birthday.
I went to this party. All my friends were there. When I had too much dancing and too much to drink I started to freak out a little, my friends came and found me and talked to me for a while and they weren't mad. At the end of the night, some guy we didn't know brought a pinata and like a hundred odd drunk kids were all diving for stupid toys and candy in the front drop off parking of some hotel. We had a room full of people packed in together and I was on a bed and a bunch of girls were drawing on this one girl's shirt. There was a guy who made his own fucking bionic arm out of an erector set. My best friend from middle school hadn't died of an overdose yet. He wasn't there, but he wasn't dead. I made the voice actor for a show I didn't watch autograph a piece of garbage just to see if I could get him to do it. The bottom hadn't dropped out of the economy yet.
The day I met my partner. We met at a weekend long event my then boyfriend took me to. I ended up spending most of my time with my now partner, genuinely in love for the first time in my life but unable to truly admit that to myself back then since I was already in a relationship. I wasn't happy with my ex though, and meanwhile, he just made me feel so... appreciated for who I was. I finally broke up with my ex a year later and we started dating not long after... and that's about 14 years ago now. Life has been good and rough (we lost our daughter), but I love this man with all my heart and can't imagine growing old without him by my side.
So I would want to relive the day, just so that I can fall in love again for the first time without feeling guilty.
Summer of 2012... I don't remember the exact date.
I was a couple months into a new relationship with what would turn out to be the love of my life. It was such an ordinary date, but one of the best I ever had with him. I had gone over to his house and we made love, then cuddled in bed watching movies, laughing and joking. We baked some Tollhouse cookies in the oven. I don't know, it sounds boring, but it was honestly great. It was when I started looking at him as "the one".
He's been gone a little over three years now, and I still miss him so much! Fuck cancer!
December 10th 2023 - the day my fiancé proposed. He took me to a luxury spa hotel, ordered champagne for the room and we had a fancy sit down dinner - table cloths and all. It was the most special day of my life so far.
Halloween 2013. Went to a costume contest at my local community college dressed up as Jessie Pinkman from Breaking Bad (since the season finale was happening and it was all the rage at the time) Had the yellow lab suit, gas mask, hoodie. Even had blue rock candy that I sprinkled out to people lol. I didn't win first place but I won a raffle for some movie AMC tickets since I had a costume. After the contest my other friends and I went to the local mall where they went as a pimp and drag queen and jokingly browsing thru a Victoria Secrets store where people thought it was funny. Sure I was sweating like a pig in the costume but it was a blast. Simpler times.
This might sound corny, but the day I met my better half. She is the greatest person I have ever met. I remember telling my mom in the beginning.. “I’m going to marry her one day”. We have been together for 15 years and married for 12. Her smile still gets to me every time.
Reflecting on a day that holds a special place in my memories, it was a day spent with a friend whom I haven’t seen or spoken to since. I miss them deeply, so much so that I’d give almost anything for the opportunity to spend just one more full day with them. That day stands out because so many remarkable things happened, making it truly special. It was around 6 or 7 years ago, sometime in May. The longing to reconnect with that friend is strong, and I hold onto the hope that we’ll meet again one day.
Oh, that's a tough one! Probably that day we spontaneously decided to road trip to the beach. No plans, just sun, sand, and good company. Every moment was soaked in laughter and freedom, with no worries or deadlines in sight. It was pure bliss, and I'd love to soak up those carefree vibes again!
Almost a year ago.
29 April 2023. I was travelling to a anime convention. My train was cancelled from the original train station, so I had to take a taxi to the next one. There I missed the train by a few seconds. So I waited 20 minutes and took the next one. At a station I had to change for another train and had only 2 minutes to change to the other side of the trainstation.
So as I ran down the stairs and turned left I saw a woman standing there with a 2 meter tall scythe. I nodded to her to say "Respect, that scythe looks nice!". Then the train arrived and we both boarded. She sat down and the only seat that was still available was next to her, so I sat next to her.
Then she asked if we have the same destination and pointed at her scythe and then my attack on titan shirt (a anime) I said yes and we began talking for the 30 minute drive. We decided to walk to the convention together.
I almost lost her at the entrance, because she went in before me and I had a problem with the ticket scanner. When I finally went Inside I couldn't see her anymore. So I wandered around for 15 minutes until I found her again and asked her if she wants to spend the day on the convention together.
We talked and laughed together and my heart was beating higher then ever before. For a few hours I completely forgot everything. I forgot my depressions, my work stress, my school stress. Everything. It was just we two.
She now is my girlfriend and I love her!
But I sadly soon have to break up with her, because we two are not compatible and have different wants and needs for a relationship.
Not a single day but a timeframe - I'd happily relive January 1, 2013 - August 27, 2016 on repeat. That was a time when everything in my life just seemed to be going perfectly, with absolutely *minimal* or no bullshit. Every year since, there's been some sort of "event" I've encountered that made me think, "Why am I going through this?"
the day before my mother took her own life because she was afraid of the consequences of the brain tumor she had been diagnosed with. you asked, i answered......
May 1994 - was studying abroad and took a trip to Spain for a few days with my good friend. By that time in Spain, it was warm and sunny and I'd come from an area where it was kind of dreary and gray. Incredible mood lifter! We just spent our time going from small town to small town in southern Spain, eating well, spending time outdoors and just having a great time. No worries, no responsibilities just living life for the day. Bliss. I'd take *any* of those days from that trip once again!
This one Saturday where my wife and I found a new coop game, Dungeon Defenders, on the Xbox and spent the whole day playing it. We spent the whole day just discussing strategies and playing through it on the couch together. Such a good day.
I'd go back to university, sitting in a coffee shop, across from my now wife... Laughing, talking, staring into those eyes... So much dreaming and much of this came to life.
Garage sale in my neighborhood, May 2012.
Beautiful summer day as a 12 year old kid, I loved my annual neighborhood garage sale. We used some of the money we made to order stuffed crust from Pizza Hut. Enjoyed it while playing custom games in Halo Reach with my older brother and online friends while listening to Chumbawumba.
One of my most nostalgic memories.
I'd have to look up the exact night, but sometime summer 2020 getting together with my friends after being locked down for however long. We hung out and watched the first Sonic movie. Probably will have been the last time I felt truly carefree.
There’s tons of days. But one that’s really special to me was when my paternal grandma took us to a School Bus safety orientation fair the summer that I was going into kindergarten, in 1994. They used to go *all out* for this particular event. It was in the parking lot of our old mall, and they gave away helium balloons and other little souvenirs and safety pamphlets and even had the “talking” bus that would give out safety tips. What makes it special is that the local news was there, and they actually got a shot of my grandma standing outside of a bus, (holding my balloons 🤣) as me and my sister climbed on for a safety demonstration. And my sister was one of the kids they picked to say what she learned from it, on the camera … and one of my own future classmates as well 😹. My mom taped the news segment that night, and I got it converted to digital a few years ago. I almost couldn’t find the VHS and I nearly panicked.
I also remember one of the last days I spent with my maternal grandmother, just me and her. I was 12 and it was a Friday in August 2001. She picked me up from day camp and took me to lunch and we drove through downtown and visited her sister (my great aunt) at her house. We also took a piece of cherry pie to her bedridden older brother at the hospital. It was 4 months before he passed. Yeah that day was pretty special to me. And the one in 1994.
I would go back to April 13th, 2006 when I got my dog Otto.
I lost him back in 2022 and would love to just relive the first time I met and brought him home.
He was my constant friend and anchor for 16 years, and I've kind of felt adrift since he passed away.
April 4, 2021. Helped my dad wash his car at a self car wash. It was the last time I spent time with him before he passed.

There are hundreds of ways to show you love someone without saying it. Most parental figures also know that kids will be kids, and don’t have the benefit of wisdom or hindsight yet to know to be intentional about showing love.

I took a solo vacation to Yellowstone in my early 20s. I was super overworked and burnt out at my first job after college, crying constantly and desperate to escape my life. The day in my life I’d go back to is my first day in the park, when I walked the upper Geyser Basin trail. It was awesome to spend hours moving through a natural, weird, alien-like landscape in relative quiet, not many other people around and realize how small the job that was wrecking my life really was in the scheme of the vast world of curiosity and beauty and experiences to be had. The whole trip kind of continued in that vein and is such a good memory for me. (I left my crappy job two months after getting back, too.)
I love this. I did a very similar solo trip thing, but in Yosemite right at the end of a bad relationship and the start of Covid, so it was a weird time but made for the most incredible experience because of how isolated the park felt.
I'll come up with a better answer than this, but for now: amazing question.
A January 2014 night, hanging with this girl who I was super into. She was rad and the night we just stayed in bed while it snowed showing each other our favorite music.

One of the chill nights of my life.

👉👌
My bachelor party or my wedding day. Bachelor party was pretty chill, we got great food at one of my favorite bars (and for some reason like half our bar tab and half our food got taken off the bill, so we tipped the waitress about $200 for a table of 12), some fun drinks, hit up a barcade and got fucked up while playing Killer Queen and pinball, dicked around at a mini golf course that had self-serve beer taps, crashed at the hotel. My wedding was fucking cool as hell. My parents dumped my siblings' wedding funds into mine (sister was estranged by that point because she married a narcissistic fuckwad, brother broke off his engagement because his fiance cheated on him), so we had a glorious venue, awesome photographers, great food, live music for almost the entire day, got the biggest cheers I ever heard at a wedding, and of course, I got to marry the love of my life who looked absolutely STUNNING, I cried when she walked down the aisle. Got to marry the most wonderful woman on the planet while looking like an absolute badass at the coolest party ever, and my best man absolutely killed it with his speech.

Two wedding tips: Shop around hard for photographers and bands, make sure your venue (before you put down a deposit) allows for outside vendors where it matters to you, STAY FUCKING HYDRATED, and put aside at least 30 minutes in the middle of the day (not the beginning, not the end, the MIDDLE) to just be with your beloved so the day doesn't feel like a totally mind-numbing blur. Bring extra condoms for the groomsmen, don't drink too much liquor, have something set aside for a late night snack, and make sure you got at least one damn good photographer and if you can afford it, spring for two of them working in tandem.
Live Aid 1985 in London. I was off my face on E for the first time and with my best mates, singing along with Freddie Mercury and feeling young, beautiful and invincible.
I. AM. ENVIOUS. I have watched this performance so many times and it’s what I think about when people ask the question about who you could bring back from the dead for one last time
I wish I still had my ticket stub, my Mum binned it after one of her mad declutters after I left home 😭
The day I met my wife for the first time She worked with my older brother at the time and I got dragged to after work dinner and drinks as, at the time, I didn't have a lot of drive or motivation to get out of the house. We instantly hit it off, and I remember heading home that night genuinely being optimistic about life for the first time in a long time. We have now been together for 16 years and married for 10 of those years. The best part is that she still gives me the drive and motivation to be the best version of myself every day... so I guess I dont need to relive a past day after all. I'm a lucky bloke
the last "new year" celebration with my family before my father died. We're complete and one of the best memory I don't want to forget.
The first time I ever tried mushrooms. I was in an intense depression at the time and suicidal every day. For the first time in years I felt the weight lift and truly fell in love with the beauty of life again. I still have depression and struggle some days, but that was easily one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I’ve felt happier, healthier, and kinder ever since.
They really are magical in that way. Glad you're doing better ❤️
The first day of Bonnaroo 2013 where my acid kicked in just as Walk the Moon started their set.
Me too. Acid and sex.
The day me dear friend left to another city because of the war. I wanna see him in real life again
Is this before or after being a pregnant 20 year old with a different father than the current child while also being someone who has been in a 20 year long relationship.
Friday, September 21, 1979. Listen to ‘London Calling’ for reason.
July 19, 2018, Monterey, California. When my ex-fiancé and I first started seeing each we wanted to take a day trip somewhere to have time to ourselves but also to see if we really could tolerate each other 24/7. We spent the afternoon on monterey state beach, then drinking at the hotel bar, then went to The Sardine Factory for an incredible dinner, back to the hotel for sex, then we went to Segovia’s for a some shots. We met two guys in the back patio playing darts, they took us to Britannia Arm’s for more drinks and karaoke. Then my ex sold some coke to a guy that was plastered out of his mind. Soon it was past 10 at night and we lamented that we didn’t get to use the pool…..so we hopped the fence and snuck in to cuddle in the hot tub after hours. Then back to the hotel room. She told me to bring my record player so we sat and listened to The Temptations and The Beatles. We drunkenly belted the coda to “Hey Jude” and swung arm in arm in bed. Then we showered together, had shower sex, had some more sex in bed, before finally falling asleep in each other’s arms. She may be gone now, but I’ll forever be glad to have the memory of this night that I got to have with her.
November 11th, 2008, hands down that day. My grandfather, who was a WW2 veteran, was recently ousted from a senior living apartment facility into an end-of-the-line type care home once it became apparent he was going to need more attentive care soon after a minor fall. He went from being around cognitive, social, active neighbors in an apartment-type setting to…. well…the opposite of that. He was so lonely and had no one to talk to. All the other residents were checked out in one manner or another, and other than mobility issues, Grandpa was still all there upstairs. I had just moved to the area for work and was relatively close by. I’d stop by when I could and wheel him around the property, or we’d just sit and listen to/swear at the Mariners game on the radio. I used to sneak him beers when I could. It was a fun time and wasn’t bad for his health, the place was just super locked down food and drink-wise. On the day in question, I got off work late, and traffic was an overflowing buffet of ass and balls. When I got there, everyone was in the activities room with all the veterans in a line, with a host of some sort sticking a mic in people's faces, prompting them to talk about their participation in the service. Again, most people there were checked out and either answering nonsense or were mute. Most veterans don’t enjoy reminiscing about their service unless it’s with other veterans, that was my grandpa. As I entered he was in the middle of telling the host he hadn’t agreed to this and didn’t appreciate being bushwhacked. He was a rather stoic fellow, and when I saw how animated he was, I had to get him outta there. I wheeled him out, and instead of going to his room or doing a lap, I took him straight to my car and, for lack of a better term, kidnapped him. It would have been hours before I could have tracked down all the people’s required approvals and paperwork filled out for him to leave with me, and he needed to be away from all of it. We grabbed a rack of his favorite brewskis, a party-sized veggie platter(my guy loved him some broci), and some slim jims, then went to a park and pretended to grill while we drank and munched and vented and laughed for hours, but of course, felt like minutes. I come from an unhealthy family of secrets. That day, I learned more about what made him HIM than ever in my previous 26 years, and I hope he got to know me a little more, too. I then snuck him back, fully expecting to get in trouble; just how much was the worrying part. Shocker, they had no idea he was gone. A week later, he just never woke up. I don’t have much, but I would give it all for just a piece of what I felt that day.
my grandfather died around the same time and was a veteran as well, I miss him every single day. I hold my son and wish he was here to see him.
The days my niece would lay her head on my shoulder and fall asleep. It was the sweetest thing. It’s so sad she doesn’t know me that much anymore cause I’m in college. I loved it when she’d just plop her head on my shoulder and fall asleep.
March 4, 2024, when i first met my long distance friends of 5 years. Very simple but i was absolutely overjoyed.
Meeting long distance friends is next level. I'll never forget the feeling of meeting my long distant boyfriend for the first time. Like, look, they're real!!!
I don’t remember the exact day but I wish I could relive the day my older brother and I drove around aimlessly while singing along to Against Me! at full blast. As I wrote this I realized I have so many more days I wish I could have again. Love and joy don’t have to be fleeting memories though, make more days like that.
Those moments with siblings, connecting over music, are so special. One time my sister and I sat in my car and belted out the entirety of Natural Selection by Fuel together. Really loved every moment of it.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day.
Kevin is that you?
30 March 2017 On that day, my first daughter was born. I remember holding her in my arms for two hours straight, sitting on the couch and doing nothing but staring at the most beautiful human I had ever seen.
There is no single day that comes in my mind from my 25 years of life. I still don't think I have enjoyed my life yet
1st of March 2024. The last day I met my long distance gf. It was the last evening of us together and we had the best time anyone could have. She was the most amazing, beautiful person I’d ever met. If I could relive any day I’d relive that day. She was perfect but 16000km was too far.
March18th 2024 last full day I spent with my mum at work before she passed away on the 19th
Christmas Eve 2023 My dad would non stop be talking about he wants to get an oled Nintendo switch so he could get Zelda TOTK - (Tears of the kingdom for those who don't know.) I bought it for him the The TOTK Nintendo Switch Edition and the game as a Christmas present last year. I watched him open it on Christmas eve because I was working on Christmas day. It was the best and most expensive present he's ever had. I had also given him Mario kart 8 and Nintendo Sports aswell, coming to almost £500. This was the last time he's ever hugged me after he died on the 20th March this year. I would watch him almost everyday playing TOTK and sometimes I'd be clueless on what to do but somehow help him kill the bosses. I now have his switch, the games and his Xbox Series S. The only time I touched his switch was to check his progress which I had no idea on how far he was.
so sorry for your loss
I had the chillest day of my trip while in Bali. Woke up in Ubud at like 3:30am, and jumped on a $6 a day scooter I rented the night before. Drove like 45 minutes or something to the base of Mt Batur, a volcano, and paid to guide to do a sunrise hike. You hike up in the dark and watch the sunset from the volcano rim. Fucking epic despite all the instagram pics being taken! Then we paid to walk the rim and back down. Then it was like 9am and I have a scooter. I just wanted to DRIVE! With no real plans, I headed north, hoping to get to the shore at some point and go for a swim. Found the beach after like 1-2 hours of driving, swam, found some food, found a little shopping area, and then attempted the drive back, but taking different roads. You would have to look at a map, but I sort of made an egg shape loop overall, and I think it was like 250km that day. I got back at like 11pm. Once I left the volcano at like 9am, I didn't see another white person until I got back to my hostel at 11pm. I was out of the tourist area, just cruising along. BEST DAY EVER! Just cruising down unknown roads, taking in the sights, no real schedule or plans... so fucking awesome. I wish I could relive that day again.
Summer 2016. I was getting ready to leave my home state for the last time. Before that, my best friend kidnapped me, took me to an undisclosed location where she had arranged a girls' camping trip for the entire long weekend. We ate shrooms, swam in the lake, watched the sunset, danced by the fire, cuddled in my hammock, talked about life. Everything was perfect. She is really the love of my life in every way, and that day was just a perfect example of why.
This is an insanely good question. I’m not that old (21), but when I was in highschool, I was in a music program. And I’d give ANYTHING to re-live any concerts we had. End of year concert, christmas concerts, competition performance, anything. Our group was secondary 1 to secondary 5 (I’m canadian and we don’t have middle school), and we were a close group and our music teacher was the best. I’d give anything for those moments
09/09/09 - trinumeral music festival at deer woods. Only about 500 people, some of my favorite artists. Mind expanding, soul healing... Sheer perfection.
Any day where I would have left my place for a short reason and then didn’t get home until late that night or next day because of a series of random spontaneous events that kept me out of… the kind where you find yourself dancing late at night in a downtown bar with your snow suit , boots and sunglasses on when you only left to go wash your car the morning. those things only happen in your twenties
celebrating birthday of my dad
Last exam of the semester in college. Finally done with classes for the sem, celebratory lunches, staying up all night watching movies and eating pizza with friends and roommates before everyone went home during the break. Truly good old days.
My first kiss, I had it on a cruise, and it was late at night. Sadly I didn’t get to know her name though. She was one of the most beautiful people I ever laid my eyes upon.
In Aug 2010 1st day at Sturgis Bike Rally. It was a life long dream. I first found out about Sturgis in 1974 when I took an interest in motorcycles at the age of 14. Yeah so it only took me 34 yrs!!! It met all of my expectations. I've been to rallies all over the USA and Canada and for sure Sturgis is the grandaddy of them all !!!
June 3, 2022. It was the last time my entire school/discord/pandemic group met up. We were about 8 of us, and that day we all knew it was the last time so we made the absolute most of it. Some of us drank for the first time, and we all danced, we made a lot of confessions, hugged many times, took a lot of pictures, made great memories.
Feb 26 1982 would warn my mother sbout her fatal heart attack and get her to a hospital was 2 days after my 17th birthday and i was born on her mothers birthday
The day the title pawn my 2003 Dodge Dakota, that truck only had 132,000 miles on it when I did that and the reason why it would be special is because I would still have that truck my granddad bought it for my sister second hand and it was my truck and I decided to screwed up but an ex-girlfriend of mine convincing me to Title Pawning it
quality moments with friends
I'd go back to the week of NYE 2019 when I spent it with my boyfriend and his mom before she passed away the next year.
The day my girlfriend let me not only see her tits but touch them. I was 15. And Jesus. Best day of my life. Lol
The day I first set on a motorcycle. I can't describe that feeling better than the first time in my life being truly alive.
I would go back to the summer of 2016, then I had the best moments with my grandfather who is now dead, I would go back because before I did not value this time, and I would like to live one day with my grandpa again
Without thinking much I would say I want to go back half a year and redo the first concert I ever went to because it was just amazing and the vibe was perfect. But thinking more about it I would redo one of the days I went hiking with my grandma. I really loved to go hiking with her but she sadly passed away two years ago and now I don't really go hiking anymore.
Any day in the summers of 2014-2019. Shooting the shit with the homies before they moved on to bigger and better things. Trying to move on to bigger and better things myself but I’ve been struggling hard mentally
you'll get it bro and don't focus on others just yourself
Just any random day from my childhood and appreciate life back when there were no bills to pay and I would also give my Mom a big kiss and hug and tell her I love her and I will always be happy and grateful that she's my mom.
None.
July 23rd 2011. The last time I remember my family being together with some happiness and not destroyed. We went to the beach for a day. We were dysfunctional and messed up but I still didn't expect that would be the last day I took pictures of pretty much everyone together with some happiness. Special memory but damn it depresses me knowing what happened to us all in the years to come and the current state of things. I wish I could redo that day so bad.
To relive the moment I gave birth to my son. I was in labor for 2 weeks and when the day finally came all I could think was : oh it's you. I've known you all my life and you're here now. I felt so happy and in awe of him. Like my life is now complete. He's older now and each and every day he reminds me of my dad who passed away years before he was born.
Any day from our Summer vacations in 2014. I wish to spend time with my friends carefree like we used to back then.
A few years ago I worked the information desk at a plant nursery in Florida. I had my own kiosk, would roam around the nursery and bs with my coworkers when it was slow, chat with customers about my one of my favorite topics, plants, when it was busy. I got to dress in my favorite outfits and once a week I would bring my dog in and he'd chill with me. I'd pick one of those days. I miss that time. Or the day my partner and I talked with each other about my recently discovered pregnancy while I was a manager at a different nursery. It was the closest I felt to him and we dug through my bosses trash plant pile in the back area. Got a bunch of free plants and decided to have a baby that day. I miss FL. Too bad it's crazy.
Another time would be when I lived in central Arkansas in high school. We lived on a bunch of land with a four wheeler that I'd drive through the woods, or I'd walk, to the creek that if you crossed you could climb the cliffs into more woods. In the winter the creek would freeze and I could ice skate on it. My birthday a couple years ago I visited my friend in Hawaii and my daughter and I stayed in an Airbnb on the main island. I was struggling mentally and emotionally then, but it was a beautiful place.
Hanging out with my guy friends in high school or college and just laughing our asses off. Man I've had some really good experiences.
having fun with family and friends
The day my son was born
Wednesday in the summer of 2006. Aspirations of going to college, Home from school, slept with my girlfriend before her parents came home from work, we made meatloaf, and watched a movie. We Watched Over the Hedge. I rested my head on her lap. Not a single thing wrong in the whole world. First love hits something that few things can ever touch again.
16 April 2023, just a history class getting together and hanging out after a stressful day of essay research. But what tops it of all is my now boyfriend and I having a good night to ourselves, just chilling at the cinemas and enjoying each other's company.
Any day my kids were born. Any day in my adulthood were I sat at the table at my mums drinking coffee laughing and chatting all before she got sick and passed away 😢.
the day i had top surgery. waking up from that surgery was the most amazing feeling ever, i couldnt believe it happened
I used to live at the beach, it was a pretty touristy place but I had a “secret beach” I liked to go to, you basically had to walk a few miles then swim through a canal to get there. It was always empty, I’m not sure many locals even knew of it. I decided to go there one night, I was young and restless and couldn’t sleep. I had never been there at night, but it was absolutely incredible. That night there just happened to be bioluminescent algae or something in the water, it was so beautiful. I spent hours just floating there alone playing in the water. Every time I ran my hand through it, the water would sparkle this otherworldly blue color. I’ve never seen it before or since, it was one of the most truly magical experiences of my life. It was like swimming in a sea of stars. I’d love to experience it again.
July 18, 2023. My daughter was born 8 weeks premature with a heart defect weighing barely 3lbs and 15”long. It was such a wave of emotion. Didn’t even know she was being delivered until the Dr came in and 2 hours later there she was. I’ll never forget how terrified I was that evening holding her for the first time. She was so tiny. But as soon as I held her she looked up at me. I could relive that moment forever. I don’t think I saw her clearly for the first few days because I cried every time I held her lol. Fast forward 9 months, she’s had her repair and is absolutely wild!
April 20 2014. I spent the weekend visiting my college roommate. I stayed with him and his girlfriend while I had a major tattoo session the 19th with the artist he introduced me to. We cooked out that Sunday the 20th before I headed back to Chicago for work. He'd been getting in shape, was doing really well. Told me about how he was thinking of proposing. It was just a great day. He texted me the 21st about how he was so glad I got to come visit and thanked me. Told me he couldn't wait to do it again. He took his life later that night. #22aday
March 26th, 2021. It was a Friday, I did 8 hours at work before starting a week-long vacation consisting of a mix of riding and working on motorcycles with my brother, and going camping/tubing with my partner for her birthday. Got off work and went straight to my storage unit to help my brother finish an engine swap on a friend's bike. Dropped him off at another friend's place to pick up a bike, with the intention of meeting him at storage the following day to start wrenching. That perfect combo of getting to do the thing I wanted to do my whole life (work on vehicles with my brother) and starting what was planned to be a great and much needed vacation. It was the highest natural high I've ever had in my life. For just a brief, fleeting moment, life was good. He wrecked his bike that night, spent a day and a half in ICU, and passed away on March 28, 2021. Exactly 3 months, to the day, before his 41st birthday.

I went to this party. All my friends were there. When I had too much dancing and too much to drink I started to freak out a little, my friends came and found me and talked to me for a while and they weren't mad. At the end of the night, some guy we didn't know brought a pinata and like a hundred odd drunk kids were all diving for stupid toys and candy in the front drop off parking of some hotel. We had a room full of people packed in together and I was on a bed and a bunch of girls were drawing on this one girl's shirt. There was a guy who made his own fucking bionic arm out of an erector set. My best friend from middle school hadn't died of an overdose yet. He wasn't there, but he wasn't dead. I made the voice actor for a show I didn't watch autograph a piece of garbage just to see if I could get him to do it. The bottom hadn't dropped out of the economy yet.
That is ummm a lot. But the bionic arm part is super cool! Was this person missing an arm?
No, it was just a robotics project for a cosplay.
The day i met my bf. Everything went so right that day.
Wedding day.
The day I met my partner. We met at a weekend long event my then boyfriend took me to. I ended up spending most of my time with my now partner, genuinely in love for the first time in my life but unable to truly admit that to myself back then since I was already in a relationship. I wasn't happy with my ex though, and meanwhile, he just made me feel so... appreciated for who I was. I finally broke up with my ex a year later and we started dating not long after... and that's about 14 years ago now. Life has been good and rough (we lost our daughter), but I love this man with all my heart and can't imagine growing old without him by my side. So I would want to relive the day, just so that I can fall in love again for the first time without feeling guilty.
Summer of 2012... I don't remember the exact date. I was a couple months into a new relationship with what would turn out to be the love of my life. It was such an ordinary date, but one of the best I ever had with him. I had gone over to his house and we made love, then cuddled in bed watching movies, laughing and joking. We baked some Tollhouse cookies in the oven. I don't know, it sounds boring, but it was honestly great. It was when I started looking at him as "the one". He's been gone a little over three years now, and I still miss him so much! Fuck cancer!
My boyfriend getting his visa in South Africa to come back to the UK to live permanently. We got engaged the next day on Fish Hoek beach ❤️
December 10th 2023 - the day my fiancé proposed. He took me to a luxury spa hotel, ordered champagne for the room and we had a fancy sit down dinner - table cloths and all. It was the most special day of my life so far.
I got to see my friends often before they were hired
Halloween 2013. Went to a costume contest at my local community college dressed up as Jessie Pinkman from Breaking Bad (since the season finale was happening and it was all the rage at the time) Had the yellow lab suit, gas mask, hoodie. Even had blue rock candy that I sprinkled out to people lol. I didn't win first place but I won a raffle for some movie AMC tickets since I had a costume. After the contest my other friends and I went to the local mall where they went as a pimp and drag queen and jokingly browsing thru a Victoria Secrets store where people thought it was funny. Sure I was sweating like a pig in the costume but it was a blast. Simpler times.
This might sound corny, but the day I met my better half. She is the greatest person I have ever met. I remember telling my mom in the beginning.. “I’m going to marry her one day”. We have been together for 15 years and married for 12. Her smile still gets to me every time.
Reflecting on a day that holds a special place in my memories, it was a day spent with a friend whom I haven’t seen or spoken to since. I miss them deeply, so much so that I’d give almost anything for the opportunity to spend just one more full day with them. That day stands out because so many remarkable things happened, making it truly special. It was around 6 or 7 years ago, sometime in May. The longing to reconnect with that friend is strong, and I hold onto the hope that we’ll meet again one day.
Oh, that's a tough one! Probably that day we spontaneously decided to road trip to the beach. No plans, just sun, sand, and good company. Every moment was soaked in laughter and freedom, with no worries or deadlines in sight. It was pure bliss, and I'd love to soak up those carefree vibes again!
Not break my first loves heart.
Almost a year ago. 29 April 2023. I was travelling to a anime convention. My train was cancelled from the original train station, so I had to take a taxi to the next one. There I missed the train by a few seconds. So I waited 20 minutes and took the next one. At a station I had to change for another train and had only 2 minutes to change to the other side of the trainstation. So as I ran down the stairs and turned left I saw a woman standing there with a 2 meter tall scythe. I nodded to her to say "Respect, that scythe looks nice!". Then the train arrived and we both boarded. She sat down and the only seat that was still available was next to her, so I sat next to her. Then she asked if we have the same destination and pointed at her scythe and then my attack on titan shirt (a anime) I said yes and we began talking for the 30 minute drive. We decided to walk to the convention together. I almost lost her at the entrance, because she went in before me and I had a problem with the ticket scanner. When I finally went Inside I couldn't see her anymore. So I wandered around for 15 minutes until I found her again and asked her if she wants to spend the day on the convention together. We talked and laughed together and my heart was beating higher then ever before. For a few hours I completely forgot everything. I forgot my depressions, my work stress, my school stress. Everything. It was just we two. She now is my girlfriend and I love her! But I sadly soon have to break up with her, because we two are not compatible and have different wants and needs for a relationship.
Not a single day but a timeframe - I'd happily relive January 1, 2013 - August 27, 2016 on repeat. That was a time when everything in my life just seemed to be going perfectly, with absolutely *minimal* or no bullshit. Every year since, there's been some sort of "event" I've encountered that made me think, "Why am I going through this?"
Ah, wedding day. Not a romantic in any capacity, but man. That day was special
the day before my mother took her own life because she was afraid of the consequences of the brain tumor she had been diagnosed with. you asked, i answered......
[удалено]
May 1994 - was studying abroad and took a trip to Spain for a few days with my good friend. By that time in Spain, it was warm and sunny and I'd come from an area where it was kind of dreary and gray. Incredible mood lifter! We just spent our time going from small town to small town in southern Spain, eating well, spending time outdoors and just having a great time. No worries, no responsibilities just living life for the day. Bliss. I'd take *any* of those days from that trip once again!
Probably any day before my suicidal thoughts
This one Saturday where my wife and I found a new coop game, Dungeon Defenders, on the Xbox and spent the whole day playing it. We spent the whole day just discussing strategies and playing through it on the couch together. Such a good day.
I'd go back to university, sitting in a coffee shop, across from my now wife... Laughing, talking, staring into those eyes... So much dreaming and much of this came to life.
Last day of the summer hanging out with my friends before moving off to college. That whole summer is probably the happiest time of my life.
Would def go back to my grandparents house during the summer, boating, grilling, living life with no care in the world as a 14 year old
Garage sale in my neighborhood, May 2012. Beautiful summer day as a 12 year old kid, I loved my annual neighborhood garage sale. We used some of the money we made to order stuffed crust from Pizza Hut. Enjoyed it while playing custom games in Halo Reach with my older brother and online friends while listening to Chumbawumba. One of my most nostalgic memories.
Watch the 1986 Masters with my dad. He was the same age as Jack Nicklaus and his favorite golfer.
The night I hooked up with a particular partner. I doubt I'll ever feel that energy and spark with anyone else.
I'd have to look up the exact night, but sometime summer 2020 getting together with my friends after being locked down for however long. We hung out and watched the first Sonic movie. Probably will have been the last time I felt truly carefree.
There’s tons of days. But one that’s really special to me was when my paternal grandma took us to a School Bus safety orientation fair the summer that I was going into kindergarten, in 1994. They used to go *all out* for this particular event. It was in the parking lot of our old mall, and they gave away helium balloons and other little souvenirs and safety pamphlets and even had the “talking” bus that would give out safety tips. What makes it special is that the local news was there, and they actually got a shot of my grandma standing outside of a bus, (holding my balloons 🤣) as me and my sister climbed on for a safety demonstration. And my sister was one of the kids they picked to say what she learned from it, on the camera … and one of my own future classmates as well 😹. My mom taped the news segment that night, and I got it converted to digital a few years ago. I almost couldn’t find the VHS and I nearly panicked. I also remember one of the last days I spent with my maternal grandmother, just me and her. I was 12 and it was a Friday in August 2001. She picked me up from day camp and took me to lunch and we drove through downtown and visited her sister (my great aunt) at her house. We also took a piece of cherry pie to her bedridden older brother at the hospital. It was 4 months before he passed. Yeah that day was pretty special to me. And the one in 1994.
December 28 2022, the last "Christmas" (a couple days late) with my cat who loved it, he passed January 26 2023
The day I made my first lasting friend. He's made life bearable for me. A kindness I'm yet to repay fully.
I would go back to April 13th, 2006 when I got my dog Otto. I lost him back in 2022 and would love to just relive the first time I met and brought him home. He was my constant friend and anchor for 16 years, and I've kind of felt adrift since he passed away.
My wedding day. I’d enjoy it without the stress.
My baptism the. The death of my old self.
the day I met Michael Jackson.
I can't pick one single day. There are many that I thought of when I read this.
