A thread inspired by a post Loony BoBerz posted in another thread about a saxophone player and the sunset and a memory he would never forget!
What's the first memory that springs to mind, from any time in your life, that was just perfect? A moment you won't forget? A moment that when the dark place threatens to consume you is a beacon of light and hope that shepherds your soul away into a place filled with candyfloss/puppies/cushions?
I have lots of these memories. I basically live my life in search of them, hunting them down and claiming them. It's possible if you try really hard. But you can't force them.
Most recent was my 22nd birthday. It was on a tuesday or something, which was ridiculous, but I had the foresight to have booked the day off work. All my friends were at work though, so until they finished later I was rocking it solo.
I planned out a reeaalll nice day for myself, and it turned out even better than I had planned, and one of those unforgettable moments occurred.
I'd took a train to Leigh-On-Sea and got some nice cold beers (it was the hottest day of the year so far) and sat on this wooden structure that was overlooking the water. Tide was in, sun was shining directly onto it, and sitting there it really was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Never felt so peaceful.
