đ» The first time, it happened when my friend called me literally a day before Halloween, suggesting we go to a party together. I had exactly 24 hours to create a costume. Back then, I was working as a receptionist at a tanning salon, so my colleague and I quickly threw together a nun costume out of whatever we could find during our lunch break. It was funny and a bit adventurous.
đ» The second time was here in Warsaw. My friend invited me to another party on October 30th. I remember the date well because we were the only ones in costumes that night đ
âwe got the day wrong. I spent a long time debating my costume and first thought of going as a robber from Money Heist. I had an orange jumpsuit, a prop gun, and a mask. But at the last minute, I changed my mind and decided to go as a dead soldier. That night, I got a bit carried away with the drinks, and I still remember wandering the streets, âshootingâ plastic bullets at passersby. Bouncers wouldnât let me into clubsâthey didnât believe my gun was a toy đ

đ» This year, my friend and I are going to a party with our group of friends again. I had more time to prepare, but honestly, I didnât have much enthusiasm for looking for a costume, so Iâll just go as a little devil. Iâll wear a long black dress, horns, black lensesâand Iâll pretty much be myself đ haha.
In Poland, on the night of November 1st, cemeteries across the city stay open. Hundreds of small lights glow, creating an almost mystical scene. Last year, I went to the cemetery near my house and felt a strange mix of emotionsâthe beauty and eeriness, the complete silence of the night, and the glow of countless candles. I might continue this tradition again this year.
Do you celebrate Halloween? Have you thought of your costumes yet?
