Our guest editor for July

We're smitten that Ms Emma Gardiner will be Daily Addict's July guest editor. For an insight on what's to come, we asked her for her thoughts on what makes an experience.  Her response?

Every once in a while, you experience a perfect moment. You look around at the laughing faces of your friends and take a mental Polaroid. This is it. Happiness. 

Standing in the darkness at a gig, you feel a euphoric rush as the music hits you in the chest and the lyrics fill you. People bump against you. Your drink spills but you don't notice because you are transported.

Sitting in the warm light of a restaurant, a meal arrives that is just what you feel like. The waiter makes you smile and you order the wine he recommends. Wellbeing sets in and your mind stands still for once. You feel content. 

It's not just about where you've been; it's about how that experience transformed you. About how it feeds you and stretches your mind. About the love it beckons into your life.

We think you're in for a treat.
