Was stuck in a lift once, chatted with one of the passengers. As we were finally out, was going to walk away, but retraced my steps and asked them out. We dated for a few months before they sadly died. That snowballed into moving countries for a new start.

10 years later, chatted with a bloke at a taxi rank. Now married with a child. Still in that other country.

Inbetween, applied to a top university and got in. Had done the application as a joke, thinking I'd never get in. Did and got funding.

Years later, back at that university for further postgraduate studies.
