Motherland

I've decided that I am going to do everything I can to save up enough money to go to Ireland next year. It's going to be a graduation present to myself. I've always wanted to go but never thought I would be able to anytime soon. I'm not sure why I thought that. Yes it's going to be expensive but as long as I cut back and save money, why can't I? One thing I have been trying to do lately is to stop convincing myself things aren't possible, when they are. They have amazing deals on traveling there right now and I am hopeful that those same opportunities will be offered this time next year.

I can honestly say I want to go on this trip alone. I know that no one will think it's a good idea and that it's dangerous. I really think I would love the continued silence, in one of the most gorgeous places on this planet. Where my father's family came from. What better way to continue healing? I know I would want to visit pub's though and that might be nice to have someone to go with. I just want to be selfish on this trip. I want to do what I want to do, when I want to do it. No bickering, no frustration, nothing. Just silence. With these as my backdrop...
