So,
I have been so confused about money and how Ireland will actually affect me. This trip has been more of a burden lately. My parents have been breathing down my neck, guilting me about a potential extra year of school and grad school abroad. I’m feeling very lost, very confused, and very angry. I don’t know what to do.
Tonight I decided to sit down, and watch a movie. I’m feeling at my utmost lowest debating this past weekend, what I’m doing with my next year - and what I want most. Then I flip through the extra cable channels and up pops The Matchmaker, some B-movie Garafelo did in ’97. Then I realize, it’s set in Ireland. I start watching growing more eager to re-visit the green island. And then, the climactic fun-loving scene of the movie is set no place else, but Inis Mor. The movie scanned onto the very cliffs I sat upon, it showed the exact same shot of this picture:
There was also this exact shot:
And this:
Then they stopped into this restaurant on the island that the crew I went with actually went to, sat down in, drank in, ate in, had fun in. And I suddenly began to remember everything, every moment on that island. Then I remembered every moment in Ireland, enjoying my friends and the scenery and that very very small town breakfast spot where I had my first Irish coffee. I am so happy, happy to be going away - and that made me think of this picture…
I want that smile again, I want to sit on that ledge again, looking out across the ocean. Where things were more clear to me than they have ever been.
Hey guys,
I’m going to Ireland.
