Frequently Answered Asks

While we do ask that folks take a look at our tags, we still get a slew of questions on the same topics again and again, time after time. While we love helping (why else would we be here?), consider this the ultimate post of tag links for those topics we get asked about all the time, and have a hefty number of resources for already.


If, after reviewing posts in these tags, nothing is applicable to your situation, please feel free to send us an ask.
And if your question is pretty specific to your story, or you personally, we do often answer questions to those who post off Anon privately. In fact, to better serve everyone, we request that you ask more specific/personal questions off Anon as if it’s too specific/personal, it’s likely an Anon posing such questions won’t get answered in a timely fashion. (And you can always request us to answer your question privately, too!)

Life Via The Camera Roll: Barcelona, Spain & Andorra

Hi beautiful souls! Finally taking this moment on a rainy Sunday to reflect on my trip to Barcelona and Andorra last week with Paul and a friend of ours. What are rainy Sunday for, after all, if not that lazy nostalgia.

Barcelona was beautiful, especially the Gothic quarter, which made me feel right out of a pirate movie. Tibidabo is a must, with the stunning church and panoramic views of the city, interrupted only by the wafting, sticky sweet scent of churros from the theme park below it.

Paul drove us from Barcelona to Andorra, and the whole road trip felt like a Jose Gonzales song. Barren and perfect, with surprising moments of extreme beauty that make you stop in the middle of a thought. None of the pictures I took from the window did it justice. I’ve never felt so small and so big at the same time.

Andorra, one of the smallest countries in the world, took my breath away - it was a perfect winter wonderland that warmed my soul and wrapped itself around my heart. You all know how much I love winter, and it was like winter-meets-Lord-of-the-Rings views as far as the eye could see.

If these spots aren’t on your list, I’d recommend a trip.

Sending lots of light,

Anna
