"Has Dublin changed you?" my friend asked me 10 minutes ago.
Only one week away from going back home, I try to recall everything that has happened here:
Apparently, a lot has happened despite the stagnant status quo / Most of it was unexpected / I wasn't surprised by what happened during this three months but the speed of them happening was intoxicating / I went in and out of loops several times... which was expected /
I was truly happy / My head was clear / Because of this, even at the wildest tide, my head was above the surface /
More savage than safe, this was my playground. I made very good friends in this playground which made all of this worthwhile. I also got to know a lot of bad seeds who were ridiculously funny. All my small talks turned into deep discussions in a matter of seconds and those added to my personal development. I'm more sure about the universal core characteristics of people now that I met people from very diverse backgrounds.
"No", I answered my friend, "I haven't changed but I am now more sure about who I am and what I don't want."
It all felt very different / Even the re-makes of the movies I've seen before had a delicious intensity / It all was funny / With its obvious upsides and downturns, it all was real / It all was wortwhile / Right before I move on / I'm glad to be here /
