Hard to Accept

It's such a weird feeling knowing the place I've called home for the past year is soon to be just a memory you know? Like, I could honestly see myself staying here long term but I was denied on my extension to my visa so I've had to accept that it's actually time for this chapter to end with a new one beginning. 

When I say I could see myself staying here long term, I'm not really factoring in the reality of living here, I am solely basing this off of my comfort level here. The fact is, Dublin is just too expensive to rent and frankly, after living in a hostel for the past year, I want my own space if I'm going to get an apartment. I couldn't fathom living among another household of people after this. I miss having my own space to keep all of my bathroom toiletries and such. Carrying my gross plastic bag filled with my bathroom products has worn out its welcome I'll tell you. Not to mention I've been living out of a suitcase which has also lost its charm.

If I could bring the weather here home with me I'd be a lot happier I'll tell you. It rains here sure and there are times you might not see the sun for a few days but the temperatures here are much more in line with what I appreciate. The winter was cold but not Canada cold, I didn't even wear a winter jacket once this year. The summer can be warm (to my standards) but not Canada warm lol I didn't miss the 40's outside with humidity, in fact, I don't ever want to deal with those again. One of my best friends is getting married next August and I am already dreading the idea of sweating outside for hours in those awful temperatures lol

Honestly, there's a lot I'm going to miss about being here but I've accepted that it's time for me to leave. I'll enjoy this last month here to the best of my ability that's for sure. Oh, and I can't wait to see Rome in a few weeks :)

HAPPY VEG
