...some of which are quite unexpected - wordpress has kindly reminded me about starting my activity 10 years ago...
When starting, I've been in a dark place. Big part of my 500+ posts contained sentences about being overwhelmed.
Nobody said life's going to be easy... Yet I did it - survived, learned to appreciate life, found value in myself, met great people. I've also lost - some trust in people, opportunities, family members.

It's been 2 years since grandma's death. I still didn't listen to recordings I've secretly made, when she was telling her youth stories...
Even thinking about it makes tears appear in my eyes.
Aunt had her 70th birthday recently, she is the oldest daughter of grandma.
Things would look different if she was still alive... We would be sitting in the kitchen together, as always, from time to time she would start telling stories, most likely those, we have already heard few times... Aunt would serve cold white fruit-flavoured wine (the too sweet one, as for my standards).

Year after year I take photos, my archives have grown big (even remembering that I've lost files from few years). It's fascinating and surprising to see how long ago some pictures have been taken.
Maybe in few years I'll think about yesterday's walk, during which below picture has been taken (or it will be forgotten, as many other afternoons like this).
Memory is a fascinating thing...
