Fáilte Ireland’s new campaign extolling the virtues of Dublin to it’s locals. If only there was a blog of that name that did something extremely similar…

Come Here To Me

I am 30 today. I remember turning 18! I battled a very nasty period of clinial depression in my mid 20s, and generally appreciate every day the Big Man gives me, but let today be a light of hope for anyone who worries about making the next one. You can. Now, Guinness cake.

I dont have any great advice for the youth beyond to work at what you love, avoid charlatans, befriend your dad and remember it’s OK to take some time off and recharge the batteries. Appreciate the gorgeous island we have and take some time to walk it or take it in.
