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. On trips, obviously, it's hard to avoid this, especially if you don't discuss goals and routes much. Of course, lack of sleep takes its toll, too. Often 👨👩 are triggered by their personal past traumas, like PTSD in 💂♀️💂♂️. You can draw the parallel, but you shouldn't label personality traits with terms from the DSM (the classification of mental disorders). It invalidates the experience of those who are actually sick. When your anxiety, for example, is highly pronounced, it's called character accentuation. But if it straight up controls your whole life, then it's an illness. You should go to a doctor and get a diagnosis, rather than toughing it out to the bitter end. You'll destroy yourself if you blow it off. I guarantee it! Worst case scenario, buy some lavender oil. It's one of the few supplements that's been proven to help with anxiety.

In Estonia, we didn't go deep inland, 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 by the barometer. That's, like, a whole lot for the Baltics. On the way, we stopped by some weird-looking, battered 🗼, where the stairs are built in such a way that you get in your own way while climbing. When we got down, a 👴 from a nearby farmstead came over and started chatting with us in heavily Estonian-accented Russian. It wasn't easy to understand him, but we still managed to figure out that he built the 🗼 just for kicks, and this is already his fourth one! We instantly felt glad that we survived the visit. Because it's totally unknown whether the dude has any construction education and a blueprint with load calculations. Still, good for him for creating such things — most people in the countryside just get wasted, at least in Latvia. Maybe that's the secret to why Estonians are leaving us so far behind. They have this very widespread thing with self-service sales of 🍎🍏 and 🍅🥒 by the side of the road — you toss the money in, you take the apples. I've seen this in Lithuania too, and with honey, even!. And it even exists in some places in Latvia. But people who come from the country that must not be named get a little floored by such futurism.
I hope that someday we will live in a world where this is the norm.
