I moved!

Hello, I've missed you! 

It's been so long that I feel like I've almost forgotten how to write. Here's what you missed. 

Life has been busy, as usual, which is a good complaint I guess. In June, I finished the PRII Diploma in PR, in July I started a new job and in September I finally made the move to the big smoke with Úna. I'm still finding my way around the city, so I'm yet to find my favourite coffee and brunch haunt, but it's still early days. It's exciting to be somewhere new, especially after spending so much time at home. 

I'm booked and busy during the week, but I mostly spend my weekends exploring. I've also started reading and writing, and spending some quality time with myself again, which has been really good for the soul. I feel like this is the year I love myself unconditionally. Does that make me an adult? 

So far, life in Dublin has been exciting (and expensive), but it's nice to step out of my comfort zone again. I'm still working from home, so I finally invested in a proper WFH setup over the weekend so I can remove my work life from the dining table. It's been revolutionary.

Some things here feel the same as home:

• In a local park, the 'duck pond' consists of 95% seagulls and 5% ducks
• Even if it takes a little bit of a walk, there is always time and space to find somewhere nice to sit outdoors
• The people in my local Post Office are just as friendly as home

And some things feel different:

• Baristas don't seem to enjoy small talk when you order a coffee
• I spend too much money on coffee
• I spend too much time trying to make small talk when I order coffee

There's been lots on my mind lately that I'd like to share with you, so let's meet back here again soon.

Chat soon,
