So for most people a special meal would be something that they have never tasted before or it would be something that is very unique from a very remote place in the world. For me personally a special meal that I had is when I finally had a meal that just didn’t hurt. And what I mean by that is I had a gastrointestinal disease that is a basic virus or bacteria I don’t remember but it causes indigestion and it’s really painful whenever you have to go to the toilet. So I’m a really special meal is when I had a normal basic meal and it didn’t hurt after 30 minutes I remember the taste of the food. You just felt safe eating the food. Everything just felt right. On the other hand the meal was completely average. It was completely average but what made it special wasn’t the taste. It was the fact that I was able to enjoy myself freely in that moment to be able to just pass in the glory of knowing that I am safe now from eating anything that I want. The fact that I had such a massive stomach ache from eating made my life miserable. I couldn’t go to school. I couldn’t work. I couldn’t study. I couldn’t learn English. I couldn’t do kickboxing. I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t even sleep. So the matter of fact is just to be able to fix that disease really is a big part of my life. So I’m really grateful for the medicine and the doctors that made that meal special. So I would like to thank the doctors and the motor medicine nowadays.

So a really special meal for me was when I had a normal, basic meal, and it didn't hurt after 30 minutes. I remember the taste of the food. I just felt safe eating the food. Everything felt right. On the other hand, the meal was completely average. It was completely average, but what made it special wasn't the taste.
