Listening to: Psychic City-Yacht
"Where you been darling?
We've been holding this moment for you.
I told you your dreams would come true..."
There is no city in the world more alluring and charming than Dublin in the sunshine. When the sun shines in Dublin it is as if the source of life itself has exhaled into the city. Filling every crack and crevice of the town. The people can do nothing to resist being surrounded in the rejuvenating sensation that occurs. The serendipitous nature of the streets its dumbfounding. Like a dream I find myself whirling through the warm streets, letting my mind float like a feather on the river. Slowly gracing along, wherever the current takes it.
You can't help but be enveloped in every sensation this city gifts to you.
Dublin has a way of doing that, enveloping you. In Dublin I have felt so full of purpose, so connected to everything around me. I am surrounded by the most wonderful people. Everyone and everything in my life at this moment makes me feel whole and welcome. I feel truly part of the things I am involved in. Just a small piece of the puzzle, but one that adds to the whole picture. The feeling that you have a purpose, a direction, and a contribution.
There is always something to do, always somewhere to go and always someone to make you laugh. There is always someone willing to pack up their things and go on an adventure with you, just because they can. I feel always in transit here, constantly moving and progressing. Never stagnant or dull.
This city is glowing gateway to the rest of the world. So intwined in its own nature, yet so freeing in its connections to others.
Dublin is both here, and there. It is a city with many stages that are filled with as many different kinds of actors. Each holding their own spotlight. You constantly feel nostalgic for the city, even when you are sitting in the cusp of it.
Dublin is an old city that appears to exhale youth and excitement. There is humor in the very architecture of the reality in Dublin. The wonders and excitement of the world that I have been lucky enough to indulge in since I have moved here are unfathomable. The ability to travel, to learn, and to grow. Gaining some new point of purpose and happiness from the people I encounter.
The very air around me is happiness. I could never ask for a better life then this.
From Dublin, With Love
Olivia
