an appreciation post for ireland from a non native resident

i moved to ireland a year and a half ago to pursue my third level degree.

i am south asian and i never liked the environment i was growing up in, be it at home or socially.

i was really short tempered and i didn’t trust anyone especially because of how superficial most people are there.

i moved here and i learned SO much, about myself and how amazing a society can be.

i did my bachelor’s in literature so i already read a few irish pieces and i know it is a bit similar to what my country went through so i relate to the historic sentiment during any sports match or a casual hatred on english on a tuesday.

i learned how unimportant some of the things were here through irish people which were given a lot more significance to back in my home country.

i learned how you can find simplicity and peace in brennan’s, tayto and saying “all grand ye” even though one’s life is a shite show that moment.

i grew up being a chai person but ireland got me and i switched to lyon’s, i do like barry’s too don’t worry!

i love irish humour its so fresh and honest.

i love everything about this country so far even the weather yes.

thanks for having me yall!
