Big crowded cities. As a young person I loved the idea of big cities with so much stuff going on. More than 20 years later I was cured of it by living in big cities and I yearn for more solitude and small communities.

I was a teenager back then and I did not think it produced the best music. But I was not mainstream, I hated being like everyone else, as if we were robots. I made a point of going against the stream regarding aesthetics, religion and cultural stuff. I hate uniforms to this day. I don’t get the young these days dressing the same as the others. Is it an education thing? I mean, as a teenager you are looking for yourself, trying stuff to see what you like. Why would you just copy what everyone does?!

That you need a partner to be happy and if you are unhappy, a partner would be the one making you happy.

That you need to buy clothes like the celebrities wear to boost your status.

At some point I was doing the job of 4 people and teaching a new one, due to several maternity leaves. My boss calls me in a meeting room snd starts telling me how she appreciates my effort and she wanted to give me a one time bonus. She was very proud of herself for that. The bonus was a one time payment that would be enough just to buy a large pizza! And she insisted I hide the content of the information paper so that the colleagues don’t see it. I soon searched for another position in another team, seeing how much she appreciated me. I would have been less offended if she would just acknowledge my work and don’t insult me with that bonus.

People with poor hygiene and/or smelling like tobacco are an insult for my senses.

I am European, so cheap food was definitely not in the form of processed food. I liked sandwiches made with country loaves buttered with lard, slices of summer tomatoes, salt and pepper.

Oh yes, we do that too. We both have a 2x2 m duvet. He comes on my side and gets warm( he is the one with cold feet and hands in the family) and gets sleepy while I play with his hair, and then slides under his cover to sleep. I like to „cocoon“ myself sometimes and I also sleep like a frog with my legs flexed. And if one of us snores too badly or has a cold, one of us sleeps on the sofa in the living room, which I built especially because I wanted to use a mattress there, so it is comfy for sleeping.

We did find once in France a big bad with a very big duvet on top, we could sleep comfortably under that single one without touching even if we wanted.

A good night sleep is essential for the happiness of the marriage and the rest of life. There is no shame in making it work for you. I heard some say 2 sinks are essential, but in our case I think 2 toilets would be great.
