Beautiful MomentsThe best night of my life was spent lying in the bottom of a boat, floating down a river low enough to be under the thin layer of mist gathering at about 3am such that it scudded between me and the stars.
Make us feel all warm and fluffy. Tell us about the most beautiful moments in your life so far.

this is mineIt was about five years ago after the worst heartbreak I've ever known. I'd felt so unwanted and so alone for so long. I drove to the top of a hill and watched a thunder and lightning storm. It was beautiful. It was raining hard. I turned off the engine and the radio. I listened to the storm. I thought for a long time about a lot of things. I realized something I'd never thought of before. I am alone. I've always been alone. I always will be. Even if all my friends move away, or if they stay, or if I find my one true love and am perfectly happy... I'll be alone.
There's a sense of that which will never go away. I'm the only person who knows me. It's not a bad thing, but a peaceful thing. The weight that this realization hit me with was so powerful that I couldn't do anything but cry. I got out of my car and sat on the bonnet in the rain. I had mixed thoughts about why I was crying. After that, things have been different.
