Besides the countries I listed ten posts ago, there was also Estonia. We went there for the weekend with 🚲🚴♀️🚴♂️ to go for a spin. We totally managed to do that, though not without arguments and fights. During travels, obviously, it's hard to avoid this, especially if you barely discuss your goals and routes. Of course, sleep deprivation also takes its toll. Often 👨👩 get triggered by their personal past traumas, like PTSD in 💂♀️💂♂️. You can draw a parallel, but you shouldn't label personality traits with terms from the DSM (classification of mental disorders). It invalidates the experience of those who are actually sick. When your anxiety, for example, is heavily pronounced, it's called character accentuation. But if it straight up rules your whole life, then it's already an illness. You should go to a doctor and get a diagnosis, not just endure it until the bitter end. You'll destroy yourself if you brush it off. I guarantee it! As a last resort, buy some lavender oil. It's one of the few supplements that is proven to help with anxiety.

In Estonia, we didn't go deep into the country, we stayed near the border, around Misso. A very picturesque place. There were so many hills that our elevation gain on the first day was 750 meters according to the barometer. That is honestly a whole lot for the Baltics. On the way, we stopped by some shabby, weird-looking 🗼, where the stairs are designed in such a way that you get in your own way while climbing. When we got down, an 👴 from a nearby farmstead came over and started chatting with us in heavily Estonianized Russian. It wasn't easy to understand him, but we still found out that he built the 🗼 just for fun, and this one was already his fourth! I immediately felt glad that we survived the visit. Because it's completely unknown whether the dude has any construction background or a blueprint with load calculations. Nevertheless, kudos to him for creating things like this — most people in the countryside just get wasted, at least in Latvia. Maybe that's the secret to why Estonians are so far ahead of us. They have a super widespread practice of selling 🍎🍏 and 🍅🥒 by self-service along the road — you drop some money, take the apples. I've seen that in Lithuania too, and with honey, no less!. And even in Latvia it exists in some places. But people who come from the country that must not be named get a little mind-blown by such futurism.
I hope that someday we'll live in a world where this is the norm.
