What are the top 3 most cinematic, beautiful moments of your life?

[Anonymous]

We all have difficulties in life and I’ve had my fair share. 🪬

But thankfully I’ve had beautiful memories too, the ones where you close your eyes and you can run away to that memory in the times of difficulty.

My Top 3 most cinematic and beautiful experiences were probably these

Number 3

Cave Canoeing in Thailand

I’ll try to describe that feeling, but it’s something you should experience yourself someday. Near Maya Bay, there are lots of caves. And the entrance to those is so small, you have to lie down in canoe to get under the mountain and a few minutes later find yourself in the sacred place, a cave that leads to the heaven, there’s the sky above and you are surrounded by the rest of the cave, but on top , there’s another life. Birds singing and the trees overlooking you. Sometimes I close my eyes at night and when I struggle to sleep, I picture myself laying there in that canoe, looking up and seeing the sky, the sun shining through the hole of the cave and hearing the birds. Makes me feel peaceful.

Number 2

Breakfast in Ville Franche Sur Mere

That was a heaven… Like time stopped there.

Number 1

Kissing under the Northern Lights

I had to look back through the memory banks...

So, hiking to the top of Half-Dome in Yosemite has to be one. And, no, I don't mean climbing the face like a mountain climber, but the hike is quite challenging and there are parts with steep rock climbs with only a cable to hold on to. The whole thing was beautiful but the view from the top was indescribable.


Another would be an inn on the cliffs overlooking the ocean in a tiny town in Northern California. I went up there on a job and the owner was so happy with my work that he asked me if I would do some extra work on the side. I ended up trading 6 hours of work for a weekend stay in one of the cliff side cabins - the most private and secluded one of the dozen buildings. Then I told my girlfriend that we were going up for the weekend so I could work, and didn't tell her until we got there that we had this private cabin to ourselves for the weekend. We ate dinner by candlelight looking out the windows at the ocean.

Then, last winter, my buddy's dad had rented a pretty big house in Tahoe for a long weekend, and then had to change his plans. It was too late to refund the rental, so my buddy and I each paid 20% of the fee and took our girls up for the weekend. My girlfriend had never seen snow in person before so she nearly lost her mind. It snowed every evening, and so we built fires in the fireplace and drank hot chocolate and watched the snow fall. My girlfriend would have been less impressed if I had taken her to Mars. She talked about nothing else for a month. Lol. But it was super nice and super relaxing. The house had a billiard room so when we tired of the snow, we came in and played pool and listened to music and ate snacks, all surrounded in winter beauty.

Such lovely memories!!!

I’ve seen the photos of those places and they are really memorable!

[MrOracle]

I found a couple of photos from the coastal inn. It wasn't ultra fancy but it was still beautiful.

Driving through new England with my wife on our honeymoon at the peak of fall color. One day, we rented a canoe and paddled around looking at the blazing color of the trees reflected in the blue water of the lake.
We visited the von Trapp family home in Stowe, Vermont. My wife took off running down the large lawn toward the house. And when she reached the center, she spun around like Julie Andrews singing "The hills are alive with the sound of music" at the top of her lungs while other tourists gaped.

Hiking one time in a beautiful canyon with a creek. A couple miles in, the landscape ahead was completely red below the large, bare, deciduous trees. As we approached, the red glistened. When we got close, we realized that everything was covered with millions and millions of ladybugs.

I met a 30 year old lady when I was 36 and asked her out. After a lovely dinner at a restaurant, I walked her to her door like a gentleman. We had gotten along really well.
I am 6'2". She was 5'1" - 5'4" in her 3" heels - and absolutely adorable.
After unlocking her door, she turned. I was standing one step below her. She stepped forward, gazed up into my eyes, put her hands on top of my shoulders, lifted up on her tip toes, pressed her breasts against me, and gave me a soft, lingering kiss. My hands went to her waist to pull her close.
Her lips were so tender and her breath was so sweet that my head became fuzzy. It was like an ASMR feeling.
I had never had that kind of reaction from a kiss before. It was like a scene in a romance movie where the orchestral music swells as the lovers finally kiss for the first time.
She and I continued dating, fell in love, and wound up living together for two years.

[Asker]

Those are breathtaking memories!

[7Phoenix7]

Kissing under the northern lights sounds amazing! That would definitely feel like something out of a movie lol

One of my own cinematic moments was my first kiss on a Ferris wheel overlooking the ocean. The sun was starting to set, everything was glowing that golden color, and when the wheel stopped at the top…. it felt like the whole world paused for a second.

Another one was standing on top of Half Dome after the hike up. When you finally reach the summit and look out, the entire Yosemite Valley spreads out below you …. granite cliffs, dense forests, and winding rivers spreading out for miles in every direction. It was beautiful. The air feels thinner and quieter up there, and for a moment it almost feels unreal, like you’re standing at the edge of the world.

And the most cinematic one was when my ex took me hiking once. When we reached the top I was completely distracted by the view snd just talking about how beautiful everything looked from where I was standing. Then I noticed he had gone quiet… so I turned around to check on him … and he was on one knee proposing. I definitely didn’t see that plot twist coming. 😄

[Asker]

I love the third one! Such a sweet memory to have

[7Phoenix7]

Yes 🩵🩵🩵

[Simslover92]

Top one is definitely Los Angeles specifically getting to see the Hollywood Sign and Santa Monica Pier.

2nd one is when I received my first real kiss on my 30th birthday.

3rd one would be visiting New Orleans. The culture there is phenomenal.

[Asker]

Sweet memories!

[Simslover92]

Yes indeed!

Dawn Patrol 150 hot air balloons at 5:00 am. Write up underneath them laying on my back watching them as they were all taking off all different color shapes sizes all lit up


In a biplane doing barrel rolls stalls and loops everything I could see was beautiful

And when I was 12 years old went to 17 Western States for a month vacation and everything I seen was beautiful I would love to go and do it again

Our planet is so special is so beautiful and if you haven't seen any of it you need to go for a drive I don't care where you at there is something beautiful to see

[OlderAndWiser]

1. Marrying Ms. Helen on April 27, 2024
2. Driving home for Christmas at 2:00 am December 25, 1979, witnessing an awesome meteor shower
3. Standing on the south rim of the Grand Canyon

[Asker]

All such awesome experiences!

How’s Miss Helen doing, traveling to China this year?

[OlderAndWiser]

This is skipping a year on her annual pilgrimage back to the Fujian Province because we are going on a 9-day Alaska cruise in August.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Landing in Burbank California walking onto the tarmac, and going to a this guy's house in a mountain where we got to see the sunset.

Another might be this time I had sex in an elevated parking garage and on one side of this far mountain there's thunder and lightning and on the other side the clouds broke apart and revealed an amazing sunset. We were right on the edge of the storm so a very satisfying mist hit me right in the balls. I might have cried when she wasn't looking.

Landing in the Bahamas was pretty cool too and then riding the jet skis out there. Then I hailed a cab and went out to the less touristy areas but it was hard to find anything outside Nassau and the taxi driver was terrified of leaving me 😂

[MrChinaski]

So many to choose from.

Tokyo. Just all of Tokyo. The shiny lights, the theatres, the cafes, the temples, the cherry blossoms, the maples, the sushi, the ramen, the... just all of Tokyo.

Norway. Descending after crossing the Snow Road. I think I read it's the highest highway in Europe... easily 3m of snow on either side, and it was the middle of summer. The descent into fjordland was an out of body experience.

And to make a plug for Australia. Christmas vacationing in a cabin in a national park in the hills behind Lorne, Victoria. Acres of lush lawn, kangaroos, koalas and kookaburras in all directions. Walking distance to an amazing beach, but you can imagine you are int he middle of nowhere. Sitting out on the decking after cooking a barbecue. A kookaburra flew in and tried to make off with an entire steak, which probably weighed as much as it did... but it had high hopes.

I could go on for days. But that's three.

[MrChinaski]

Also, @lafemmefatale_1, great question!!!

[exitseven]

!) It was a beautiful day and I was hitchhiking home. I was about halfway there standing on a traffic circle with my little sign that just said "SOUTH". The rides were good that day and I felt happy.
2) It was a sumers day in August and I was at the beach sitting on a big rock with a girl I had known for about a couple, of months. I was 16 and really liked this girl. We sat on the rock and I took hold of her hand. She did not pull it away. A few minutes later i leaned over and kissed her.
3) I crossed the finish line at the Boston Marathon. There was a huge crown and everyone was cheering

[exitseven]

how are you?

[MidnightRivers]

3. Italy trip with my mates

2. Winter walk in Scotland i did on an Christmas day

1. A hot summers day once in the UK chilling on a river

[Asker]

You’re back? ✨ I think I could tell that jawline among thousands

[MidnightRivers]

Hehe, it's been years! There's barely anyone here anymore... Glad to see you're here

[Asker]

Glad to see you are here too! How old were we? 18-19? 😁 Can’t believe it’s been 10 years! 😍

[Asker]

Now I feel ashamed you’ve seen all my silly posts hahaha

[MidnightRivers]

😂😂😂

Nowhere near as bad as these fake pink anon orgy questions 👌

God, must have been at LEAST 10... crazy!

[Asker]

Oh God! Feels so strange! Like I am time traveling back to 2015… We were so young and cute! 😁

And so many fun people were here. Are you still in touch with any of them?

Feels Like meeting a long lost friend 😄😄😄

Oh yeah, thanks for soothing my shame hehe, helps me not to feel caught and accountable for everything I’ve said here 😛😄

How have you been? How’s life? Fun that I can recognize you without seeing your eyes! They were always my favorite part of you, by the way 🤫

[MidnightRivers]

I still remember the very first day I joined, man it almost feels like yesterday fr😂

Yes! on Insta - I assume you're still in touch with the legends who were on here and have left? ahah

😂 brb I'm gonna cipher through every single question and troll as the notorious blue anon 🤓

Life’s been good, very busy! Not surprised you remember my eyes, your killer features were always pretty unforgettable ;)

[MidnightRivers]

How've you been?

[Asker]

Speaking of legends, you were pretty popular too!

I was always a weirdo, wasn’t friends with many of them haha, but I do remember Consultant, Chico, OrdinaryGentleman (That one I was friends with)

I think I have 3 people who I met here on GaG on my socials, I added them before 20. Haven’t given out my socials since then I think.

So you know all my secrets 😄 Don’t go blue anon on me! 😁

Happy that life’s been so busy you’ve barely had time for GaG. Same for me this past two years. I was barely here.

Life’s been very good. Can’t complain. Feeling grateful really. 🥰 Just trying not to speak too much of my happiness here. My thing is provocative questions.

Have you moved countries or just staying lowkey anonymous here?

Thanks thanks, means a lot from you. I remember I used to think you were the most handsome guy on GaG. 😌

And even though you are not showing yourself anymore, I can still tell it’s true!

[MidnightRivers]

😂The good old days omg, what an absolute blast...

I remember you were, always thought you were myserious and intriguing in that regard, was super curious. Remember Tony as well?😂

Mind you, only the ones I was really good friends and close with I gave socials to, met up with some too

For real though, life comes in completely takes you out. Full time grafting and working. GaG worked for me during my uni days with all the procrastination between studying and clubbing for -4 years. After that it's serious mode: ON

I am glad you're doing well, genuienly really nice to talk to you again

Not moved, always been in the UK. How about you (Always know what country you're from I won't say here)

Honestly, I always thought you were the most beautiful girl on GaG. The mysteriousness really added to that

Good instincts, always thought you had fine taste too ;)

[Asker]

Hehe, yeah? What was the biggest mystery you wanted to solve? 😉

I can recall the name, I think I remember him from a very far memory.

So we were close because I out of curiousity, I just found our old chat on messenger and had a good time laughing. We did talk a lot!

How did the meeting up with the others go? I never actually met up anybody.

Full time grafting in architecture? (If that’s a secret… 🤫)

So good to be talking to you after so many years and seeing you doing your thing 😎and being all serious!

I did move to Shanghai for work, but not going to stay here forever. It’s been a nice journey though, very exotic and interesting. Hiding my country’s so protective of you, I remember your MBTI was some kind of protective personality too! 💪🏼

Oh and I can say the same about your taste 😏 I came across some nice photos of yours in our old chat 👁️ 🍬 🤭

[strateguy632]

Yours are wonderful. I just had picnic s by waterfalls and lakes.

[Asker]

Thank you. Yours sound amazing too!

[MysticDevice]

Top three is probably Skydiving, watching a storm front approach while in a jet at 18,000 feet, and 1200 mile road trip I did once.

[Asker]

Whoa

[MysticDevice]

Life for me is pretty boring otherwise

[Dnice1]

Seeing the sunrise and sunset over the ocean at my favorite beach.

Driving through the blue ridge parkway and seeing the beautiful mountains

And seeing nature all around my yard (saw a bald eagle just last week fly across the lake behind my house)

[Nikki1989]

There are so many memories to choose from; I wouldn't know where to start.

[queenofcardio]

1. Crossing the finish line after completing my first marathon

2. All my adventures in Costa Rica.

3. Lobster fishing in Halifax on a boat cruise. Very cute Jelly fishes in the ocean

My life didn't have much beautiful moments.

[Asker]

Don’t say that… There are happy little moments in everybody’s lives…
The happiest I’ve been I was 11, I got out of shower, the home was quiet for a moment, my mom was helping my brother do his homework and my dad was at home doing his things.

I have never been happier… Because at that moment I had everything I wanted to and I couldn’t ask for more…

Cherish those little memories. And there will be many more to come. Don’t compare your life to others, we all have our own troubles and demons to fight with. Find the little things you love and cherish them. That’s all that matters.
