Looking back on the time I have spent in Ireland. I can say that there are a lot of adventures I have been on, or still could take. I mean I was able to explore the West, Dublin & the North, and even Cork. I like the time I have spent here, and though it is coming to a close, I feel I have seen more of the world than I imagined I would. Being here, I felt free. I am able to do as I choose, to an extent, and I am not judged. I have been able to explore parts of Ireland and gain knowledge, sites, and so many opportunities. I am able to freely take adventurous walks and just be in my own mind with my air pods in. I do not know exactly why I feel so much better doing that here than in the States. I just feel that in Ireland it is a foreign land to me, and I never know what to expect to encounter!
I can buy what I want, go where I want, talk to who I want. Not to say that I can't do that in the States, but I feel I have more free will because I am in a different country. I really do like it here. The nature is beautiful, and I just get a sense of peace. There is structures here that America does not necessarily capture. I am of age to drink here too! I just like how it is here, and I will be sad to leave it, but I do feel the sense of excitement to go home to my family and friends. Like Yeats's "The Song of Wandering Aengus" states:
"Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands..."
To me, I want to become old and still be able to wonder what is going to be around the corner.
