Going solo in Dublin

Full of traditional-looking pubs and restaurants cramped in narrow streets. Dublin has a lot to offer, but is also not a massive city. Three days in Dublin should be more than enough to see the interesting spots and chill about.

First, an apology for not writing anything in ages. With the weather getting warmer and sunnier, we are using the longer days to fix up our house. I have loads of ideas to write, I just haven’t had time to sit down, get into the zone and start typing. Second, don’t worry, this post is not named “going solo” because we are divorcing, it is just one of my work trips where I managed to squeeze in…

basically threw away £20 on my nails today so was already getting weird bc i apparently cannot be normal about money and then my paycheck came through just for my manager to have knocked off 11 hours worth of pay. so naturally i am crying in a dark room about it

#this is such a girl moment wdym you’re crying about your fucking nails. couldn’t explain it to you if i tried #im just an utter FREAK about money and then for my payslip to get fucked as well. whyyyyy would you do that #im not built for the working world truly idk how sensitive people do it bc i am NOT im tough as shit 99% of the time and i STILL can’t deal #just give me my fucking money it’s not fair 😭😭😭 i worked hard 😭😭😭 #and the dumbest brattiest part of this is that the thing that tipped me over the edge is that my mum didn’t offer to pay for my nails #like how ridiculous and spoiled is that but still i was so so angry at myself about fucking them up and it’s £25 to get them done tomorrow #and I’ve worked so hard for her this summer and both days I’ve been in town I’ve got her things #like nothing spenny but I’ve just thought of her and got her things I know she’d like just to be nice #and £25 is NOTHING TO HER AND SHE DIDNT EVEN OFFER 😭😭 she even joked it off #she was like ‘your dad would offer to pay if he was here but I believe in lessons’ GIRL FUCK YOUR LESSONS I WANT MY NAILS DONE 😭😭😭 #why am i actually in tears over this. this is so silly. now all my money is fucked and im going to be the skint one when we go to dublin #AS USUAL. even though i worked hard and clocked the hours it still got fucked bc im fucking. cursed #im aware im being dramatic and this isn’t even about the amount of money i have atm i promise this isn’t some desperate bankruptcy claim #like for once im actually fine money wise it’s just all been FUCKED and my dates are now FUCKED bc i have to wait for next paycheck now #and it’s so unfair bc usually things go wrong for me bc im DUMB and mess it up LIKE MY NAIL APPOINTMENT #but for work and dublin i literally planned it perfectly and did the hours and it still didn’t work #like what is WRONG with me. i hate being an adult i need a sugar daddy ive had enough #the message I sent my manager…. scathing…. ik his scared of confrontation ass is panicking. give me my fucking MONEY #hella goes home

context: my main plan for 2024 in my journal was "figure out the future & what I'm going to do & where I'm going to live" thinking about summer maybe except last friday during a particularly bad work-related depressive episode I went, fuck it I'm leaving here and found a site and applied for cheap studios in cork and dublin basically in the middle of the night. when I got better I started wondering if I REALLY wanted to leave and may have acted too soon without thinking it through as usual but decided that, you know, what's meant to happen will happen.

then this morning when I was washing my breakfast dishes I dropped a bowl on top of my favourite (and very durable) glass and the glass just snapped in half. at first I was upset but then I laughed thinking, guess this means everything is going to work out and I'm moving out, thanks!! and when I got back from work I found out that not only did I get a place in dublin but my top pick at that. I cannot believe this. the fucking glass. and it was actually still stable so I glued it back together to use for a plant or something. I fixed it. I wonder what it means. anyway. looks like things will work out after all

(it's got a dragon and that's why it's my favourite. out of two. the other one I just use for measuring rice.)

#personal #sofi.txt #text #multiple thoughts in my head #if superstition then why does it work? #the funniest thing is that i overthink tiny things but make big life changing decisions on impulse but somehow they're right #it was so random too because the cork apartment (which i wanted but got declined) was available since may so that's the date i applied for #even with the others #so i'm left with may but 4 months is the perfect amount of time to find a job and still save enough money here to make the move ok #the place is basically a shed in a lady's garden the size of my current living room but it's extremely cool and has everything one needs #and more than i have here in some cases. a DESK #it doesn't look unlike my childhood dream home tbh #and. thinking of palestinians living in tents who don't even have the one room and how lucky i am to be able to have that #or leave this small town willingly for the sake of my own wellbeing and go elsewhere just like this & safe 😭 #dublin has all the major events though and i feel like i can do more there and actually join ipsc (

It’s sunny and not too windy. I’m on the bus into town to go to a market at a community garden. Then I’m going to a pole class. Then I’m going to a bakery that someone online said is the best bakery in Dublin (ad). Then I’m going to an outdoor record market with someone from work! I’m going to walk everywhere if the weather stays like this. I’m lucky! Fortunate!

#lucky lucky lucky #fending off the horrors! #i have followed one million things to do in Dublin accounts and businesses and community groups etc #and am designing activities for myself based on this

kinda weird to be part of irish diaspora when usually that word is for like. not irish people. and also i feel weird talkin abt it bc i dont wanna come off as "american who 5+ gens back had irish family" like no. i still have relatives i know there. bls,, 🫠

#jupiter.speaks #tdl? #> just generally such mixed feelings abt it. i love my heritage but man do i not know how to talk abt it n not feel like im oversteppin #> like mf i have been to paddys parades since i was 8 at least🫠 get a grip me smh #> obvs not a testament. whagever. im actually visitin fam over there in a few weeks ive not been to that part yet #> been to northern + dublin last summer! was sooo pretty i dunno if i had this blog then but god. was amazin fun #> the only thing stopping me from moving back over there is the housin crisis is even worse there jeez... #> anywag. happy paddys day all :3

Do other countries have stuff like RIP.ie? Like a website for just collecting obituaries en masse for convenient public perusal? Because it feels like either a completely ordinary thing which is universal or a batshit Irish thing born of our fascination with who's died recently

#as soon as i learned how to work a phon3 3very 2 weeks mam would say shit lik3 'look up james connolly on rip.ie' #the numb3r of funerals that irish countrypeople go to is truly shocking #whenever i see an american show and theres a small private funeral im like. well this is abnormal #maybe its specifically a rural irish thing i cant see dubliners doing it #anywho

"No queuing is allowed in front of the entrance nor in the streets around the venue"- trinity college's concert rules are my new villain origin story

#fuck you fuck you fuck you #wtf do you mean no queuing up allowed #as if people sitting around for 7 hours in front of a venue would be disruptive #i fucking hate my routines and plans being disrupted #wtf am i supposed to do the entire day then #enjoy dublin? certainly not while being all nervous about that concert and now not being there hours before to get accustomed to the people #this is seriously the worst #i need the goddamm control #when are we allowed to fucking queue up then #at 7?? when the doors open? you kidding me? #I'm probably gonna be lurking around there the entire day then #i hate this #concert hate posting #new tag lol #I'm very normal about concerts #i love not having any control over where i end up #i don't care at all ahahaha i love being as far in the back as possible and not seeing a single thing #also i don't believe people aren't gonna queue up somehow #idk how many and idk how popular bastille is in ireland but there's gotta be some people who wanna be there early #alright i can take a walk through the city then #haven't been there in 4 years so i should be happy about the opportunity #also it would help me to be more flexible about things so this is a great learning opportunity 🙃 #void screams

My sister is 23 and has never lived outside of home and I’m like ??? Go get a summer job in Amsterdam or something just leave for a bit you’re supposed to

#I went to college at 18 so I lived in Dublin for five years #I lived in Armagh for three months #I lived in a youth hostel in Dartmoor for a month #you gotta go do things sometimes #it’s not like she’s gotta move out forever and we’re not going to let her starve #but go live somewhere else for a bit maybe? #jb

i hate my town i hate the people in it i hate the shame that consumes us all i hate that every failure might as well be posted in the square because everyone knows everyone i hate that my grandparents are here and i hate that my mother came back for them i hate that the kids are dying and no one cares i hate that every good memory has a bad memory right next door like sam's house around the corner from my childhood home i hate the body they pulled from the river i hate the memory of hearing yellow by coldplay at my cousin's funeral because all i could think was that it was too modern for the situation but then he was only seventeen so it makes sense i hate that i was seventeen too and all the boys i knew were there his friends that were supposed to be the tough guys the scary guys i hate that i pretended not to see them sobbing i hate that everything smells of cigarettes here i hate the politics i hate the people i used to love that dont even smile at me on the street i hate that the girl who called me a slut works at my favourite bar i hate every alley and hidden shortcut and i hate that i know them like the back of my hand i hate the same fucking coffee shops i sat in when i was fourteen and scared and now im nineteen and scared and i hate that it's exactly what this town wants i hate that it wants anger i hate that it wants fear i hate that it wants shame i hate that i can give it everything

#thinking about how the two biggest things in my life rn - writing and my degree - are so punctuated by this fucking town #like my biggest fear with my degree isnt what id think of myself if i dropped out or failed #or even what my family would think bc they're nicer to me than i am #it's genuinely the thought of what my hometown lot would say that keeps me up at night #like the thought of my neighbour who told me id never accomplish anything bc my school was shitter than his fancy one #the thought of having to look him in the eye #or the thought of knowing my friends will tell their mums who are still on the PTA with old teachers who thought i was special #like small towns wrap you in this bubble of smallness and it suffocates you and you're so terrified and ashamed of every little mistake #and then my writing GOD i keep thinking about how tbos is probably the best thing ive ever written #and id publish it id genuinely try and get it published #but im just again so scared and ashamed and embarrassed like how do i explain to these assholes that im writing fantasy #and that's not even counting the gay angle bc that's the biggest part #i just am not brave enough for that yet and yeah maybe it's bc im still young but i shouldnt have to be brave to enjoy things to begin with #failure shouldnt require bravery when it's just a fact of life #and i think about if we'd lived in london like my dad wanted us to or if we'd gone to dublin bc my mum loves dublin #or even if we just hadn't come to this fucking town and we'd lived in ANY FUCKING CITY #my dad jokes about how in london he didn't even know his neighbours names and god i just crave that anonymity so fucking much #it's so frustrating and my mum takes it so personally whenever i say i hate the town and my sister says i'll grow out of it just because #she did but i genuinely dont think i will #and maybe that's the creative in me or the queer in me that she just cant relate to but i have always always hated this place #like a guy i have a VERY complicated history with messaged me the other day and we havent talked in TIME #and it was kinda sweet if not awkward just bc of our aforementioned rocky past but one thing he mentioned when i said i was at uni #was that he said really genuinely 'im so happy to hear that; i know you always wanted to get out of [town name]' #like he still remembers that about me even though weve been friends since we were 12 and i havent spoken to him since i was?? 17?? #UGH i just hate it here and it's the fact that i'll never escape it either bc i cant totally abandon ship without also #abandoning my family and i refuse to do that and they refuse to leave so now im just stuck with all these CONNECTIONS #sorry to vent lol #ig this could be a poetry thing? we'll say it is instead of me just having another meltdown LMAO #hella goes home

Look my therapist isn't the best in the world but at least she doesn't give me homework

#nothing to say about it but I wouldn't do that lmaoooo #'bring me a list of-' first of all that's gonna give me anxiety #also. i wouldn't know what to write #you know when people ask you things like 'tell me three things you like about yourself' and i always go uuuhhh how do i explain this to you #like one time at school in dublin someone asked what i would change about me and i straight up said everything #'but like... in your body or personality?' E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. #that was... not my best moment cause the next month i stopped eating lmaoooooooooo

Woah woah wait.

Before I go to bed.

I wasn't minding but Jordan Devlin's new name is JD McDonagh?????

Lads, fair play on the name I'd give you that, with some of the names changed lately, Alba Fyre, Giovanni Vinci, Ludwig Kaiser, at least it's not too stereotypical.

But it's also really funny to me because he sounds like he should be selling me dodgy DVDs from the back of his 05 Fiat Punto that also has a couple of greyhounds in it 😂

#i get slightly why they chose it #because its very mc gregor-ish #and with whole 'my penhouse in dublin shitck' #thats exactly what theyre doing with him #im not fond of Devlin as it stands #but i really hate mcgregor for various reasons #so idk of this whole thing is going to sit with me at all #wwe #nxt #jordan devlin
