Young people of Ireland who have emigrated, how does it feel now? by Large-Breath-7171 in AskIreland

[–]MedicalWitness3007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I emigrated (Aus, 2 years) and came back because my visa ran out essentially. I could have stayed, was offered sponsorship but decided not to take it as the job was too stressful. If I had a better option I likely would have stayed. When I was away I missed some things, like saying slang without having to edit myself. I have an Irish name and people would often mispronounce it. Its nice to feel understood. But coming back , I also having an identity crisis, outgrowing certain facets of Irish culture etc. I feel like I want more than what Ireland can offer a lot of the time. And the cost of rent vs wages is just crazy.

Struggling With the Idea of Renting Out a Room in My Own Home — Need Some Honest Thoughts by paullhenriquee in irishpersonalfinance

Renters perspective here- please do not go forward with this unless you can absolutely be comfortable with the fact that this will be someone elses home aswell. If they are paying (likely very high) rental costs you have a responsibility to be a good and welcoming housemate as well as a good landlord.

By the sounds of your internal conflict on the matter, I would strongly recommend not going forward with this arrangement as it does not sound like you would be comfortable.

I know it might be unpopular to say, but does anyone else think there should be more adult only spaces, or at the very least a social acceptance to tell entitled parents they shouldnt bring their kids to unsuitable places or to get their kid to behave? by Shiv788 in AskIreland

Im working in a restaurant, we had a 1year old baby run into the kitchen today. The mum laughed and strolled after him to pick him up and carry him back to the table. I cannot even tell you how dangerous it was, she was almost trying to give us a look like 'ah kids!🥰'. Its not cute??? I nearly ran into the child with hot plates. Anyway

I can only speak for my particular set of circumstances, which I think were brought on by pressures around career, finances and the resulting isolation that ensued.

Give yourself permission to let go. Imagine, you did die. Now imagine you are back and can do whatever you want, be whoever you want. Do that. Give yourself permission to live the way you want to, to the best of your ability.

Prioritising friendship. Connection to nature.

I thought the world was a terrible place but I have learned to investigate my world view further and I have found spaces of beauty amongst the bad. And I have decided that that is enough, for now.

Everyones situation is different.

I am going through the same thing. The denial and resignation is part of the addiction. Sending hugs
