There's one thing you said I must disagree with strongly: "I am not a good writer"
Nonsense - you're great 🤗
Enjoyed this, I love hearing more about people's backgrounds, especially when it involves moving to different countries, meeting a partner from another land, cultural integration, language, identity, etc. Any chance you could make a voice recording of 'suggestion'? 😉 (hey, I'm a language teacher, these things fascinate me!)
Just wanted to say one thing, for now. I have “Once” , CD format. Probably not original , because I remember replacing the cover with a pic of an important painting (Picasso’s). I must have spent two full years where I couldn’t listen to anything other than that type of metal. NW was a great novelty. Then I went to back to drinking water.
We used to crawl abandoned mental hospitals at 2 in the morning. My wife is perpetually amazed by my ability to recall song lyrics. "What We Do in the Shadows" is a solid referral. You might also like anything by Neil Breen.
Great read! I found a lot of myself in your story. I also have a daughter who just so happens to be a total bad ass. She's 15 now and working on creating her first comic book.
I find that writing horror or about my trama is so much easier that these types of articles. Did you find you had an easy time writing it or did you feel funky clicking post?
I've never objected to the Estonian accent. This was amazing to learn more about you, I really should write my own... it's kind of strange not to have already!! Take care, my friend. Looking forward to your next piece.
ohh i love your authenticity on this one! makes me look forward for the stories you'll write next. a random fact about me... i'll just show you, it's on your inbox now 😉
If I ever eat spaghetti near you, and find I am eating worms instead, I will turn to you and expect you to say, "I learned that trick from the Lost Boys."
I was born on a Tuesday, November 26th and immediately had my butt smacked by a masked stranger before I could even object, fell off my bike at 6, earned detention at 14 for something I absolutely did, barely graduated at 18, blacked out at 21 in a city that has agreed to never confirm my presence, and everything after 30 dissolved into a warm, featureless haze that I can only attribute to the psychological damage inflicted by that masked man in the delivery room, which is also why I am now writing an "about me" on Substack. 🙄😒
I would like to know more about you, definitely write a post. I also like weird events...

Well thank you are too kind. I see maybe one day you will also hear my voice...

The worst thing about that list is I had one more i wanted to add: NIN- downward spiral. But I forgot! I am devastated!
You got it! 😁

My husband can also recall so many damn songs and I am amazed by that.

I still feel funky about this post. Can't wait to see your daughter comics, its great that she has a passion to follow. Most people never find one.
That was a great piece to introduce yourself. Nice to meet you. Looking forward to reading more from you.

So glad you found your way back to writing even if we miss out on the poems ☺️.
What’s your favourite thing to cook?
Thank you Alex! Thats a good question! Really depends of my mood, I really like to cook on a Blackstone, whatever I can but on it.
Ooh nice I haven’t used one of them before.. I enjoy cooking and the best stuff is whatever my partner is excited about 😅
What’s your favourite Estonian food if it’s too hard to pick a favourite?
What We Do In The Shadows, Nightwish, cooking, working out, spooky stuff, dark humor I love you more everyday! 🖤🖤
Don't you flatter me you psychopath, I might even believe you!

We first watched it on an airplane. We were dying of laughter. I think people were concerned 🤣
Watch the show also, it's such a good step from that movie.
We watched some of it! I related to sitting through office meetings with the energy vampire.
More about me would be 😴😴😴😴. Lets get more about you instead. When is installment 2? 🤔
Your turn Sal!
