I am leaving for Dublin in ten days. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this. On one hand I'm hella excited. On the other hand I will no doubt miss my friends in New York and my family that I've only been able to spend two weeks with here in Florida. I just seem to be moving a lot these days. I just moved from New York City to sunny Boca Raton, Florida. Something I swore I would never do. But. Never. Ever. Swear you won't do something ladies and gents. I've found that I'm eating my words more and more as time goes on. But. I digress. As I am prone to do. I've lived in Florida for a whole two weeks and it doesn't seem so bad so far. I actually like it. A lot! New York holds a special place in my heart that will never be moved, but, it was time to go. Before I left, every time I told a friend (well mostly acquaintances) that I was moving, they'd ask me why. It's a good question. And while I knew well enough what the answer was, I found it such a complicated question to answer. Mostly because the reasons were extremely personal, but the biggest reason was that I ultimately found myself going in a circle. A circle that did not bring me closer to my goals or to happiness, so I found it pointless to continue going around the round-about like the Griswolds in National Lampoons European Vacation. Hope that answers any ones questions. If anyone besides my brothers cat reads this that is.
Now about this Ireland thing. I'm aware of the impending doom that is their economic crisis and how hard it is to get a job there. That's all I can think about. I'm not at all worried about finding a place to live or making friends or what have you. Because as Sharon will tell you, leave me alone for 5 minutes and I'll make 5 new friends. Baby jeebus, if you're listening, can I have a job mmmkay?
So, basically all I need to worry about now is packing. Good lord, I am such a fucking nomad, I should just live out of a bloody suitcase! Just as soon as I've unpacked everything in my room here in Florida, it's time to pack again.
This time it'll be for a happy happy joy joy reason at least. At least.
