When i was 13 I saw a commercial on the telly for an IT company called CapGemini, the reason it was on is because they were starting up/expanding to my country and they were new here (even though they've existed in France and other places since 1967). Now, I had heard of this company before, and already then they were HUGE. So I told my dad, I'm going to work there one day, and he was like, go for it! So this was in 1991. In 2008 they had found my CV somewhere on the internet and actually called ME up for a position, and I ended up taking it without hesitation - it was one of the best jobs I ever had. Only got to be there for 3 years though as they lost the contract with the company we were working for, so 200+ people had to be let go, but the look on my dad's face when I told him who just called that day - Priceless. He's gone now though so it's a happy memory for several reasons :D

    Christmas day of 2013. I had moved from my parents' house 3 months before but I hadn't had the chance to relax. I had postponed moving away from my abusive, toxic family because of all the bulls**t "you must humbly accept anything from your parents regardless of how they behave", and the naive hope that things would improve, if I put all my efforts and desire in it (guess what, things didn't improve). On December 25, 2013 I finally understood how it's like to sleep peacefully, and not hear screams and swears and slamming doors at 6 AM in the morning. That I don't need to tip-toe and hide for fear that my father would hear me and start yelling out of the blue. That I could use the bathroom, use the kitchen, watch TV and basically do anything like normal people do. That there was no one to yell threats and insults at me anymore. That I am finally safe and secure. That I am home. MY home.

    I was in grade three. I wrote lovely notes to my teacher every day. One day she gave a note back to me. Ever since I always look back at that note and it shows that I am lucky and people like me. That was my happiest moment.
