Top 3 favourite places? 🧭

(Yes, only three because I'm cruel like that :P✨)

(I binged The Good Place with my mom and she turned to me and told me I have the same ability to decide of Chidi. Honestly, she's not wrong and this question proved it.)

... Only three. Ok. That is hard.

Iveagh Gardens, Dublin. It's such a small corner in the city, I've been there and found it casually and... It was so peaceful and calm, out of the tourist traffic... All green and quiet, it gave me a lot of magic place vibes. I struggle to think of just one place in Dublin or Ireland because all I've seen has been great, but that was discovered randomly, it was just me and my friends and it felt like a secret.

Delphi, Greece. I'm not a religious person, but that place is magical. On a mountain side, but you can see the sea, there are old ruins of various periods of time, you need to walk up and down, the climb just makes it more worth it. Yes I started a comic on Greek Mythology just to draw Delphi and convey the feelings I felt there. It was a very sad year in my life and I almost considered not going to that trip. There, I realised I would have been stupid not to go, the company wasn't ideal at all, but there... It felt like a hug.

I have a complex relationship with Sardinia. I don't want to get back there because I never found friends I really got along with there, and well, past trauma and such tainting the place. But, the Bastioni Marco Polo in Alghero where my small corner of respite, I could get there on my own and vibe and just exist for a while, no expectations, no right or wrong behavious to have, nothing to do except sit on top of the walls, looking out at the sea, draw, breathe and mingle with the local seagull community. I know it sounds incredibly sad and this choice is very bittersweet, but eh. To quote Rainer Maria Rilke: “Let everything happen to you / Beauty and terror / Just keep going / No feeling is final”. That little corner of the bastions felt like this.
