Yet More Sentimentalism

Have just put outside the last four bags of garbage from my flat and now all that remains is my suitcase and a few things I need in the morning. This is my last night, for now, as a resident of Dublin (I’ll be back momentarily next week for a couple of nights on a kindly donated futacouch before finally flying out on the 14th)

I’ve lived in Dublin since 2001 and I really do love this place but it’s a big world out there.

I’m about to embark upon what is without doubt the biggest and scariest thing I’ve ever done. I’ve left my job and my home and I am about to leave my friends and dearly loved ones behind.

When I decided to do this I didn’t think I’d be sad to leave Dublin, but boy, am I ever. Right now my sadness blinds me to what will hopefully be a very happy and exciting time. That’s difficult to see through the tears right now.

Wish me well. I’ll be in touch, you can count on it.

    Best of luck Cliph, it’s a great big world out there, and I’m sure your going to enjoy the hell out of it.

    Give those crazy Canucks hell, Cliph. You’re going to have a brilliant time. And much respect for going through with one of those Big, Life-Changing Decisions.

    You’ll have a great time and enjoy yourself.

    Remember though, Canadians don’t have souls.
