Today we wear green. Two weeks ago we wore black.

Today, the nation sets out for its annual celebration of every single Irish stereotype imaginable. Irish and non-Irish alike don every item of green clothing they own and embark upon a day of festivities. There will be Irish flags, shamrocks, and Guinness galore as our little island puts on a show of unity and happiness for the world. We do it for ourselves too though.

She roams

I have a gypsy soul and a travellers spirit 
I have wandered this planet of ours for as long as I can remember

Words

Recently, in reaction to the election result in America
I wrote that words are my weapon. 
But they are more than just that. 

I went away.

I went away.

I spent a year in New York.

I met people and saw places that have changed me forever.

I was there to study, which I did.

But I learnt far more than any book or professor could ever teach me.
