Our final days in Dubh linn

Our very fine trip to Dublin is unfortunately coming to an end so we're trying to get as much of the city as we can.. We will both be leaving here with a partially broken heart, for we are both completely in love with this city.. We are in a pub at this very moment called 'the old storehouse' and we've been here again and again for a couple of days now. The manager actually came to talk to us and joked that he has seen us more in the past couple of days, than he's seen his wife! Haha, funny guy.

My heart is torn in two, because I am beginning to build up a life back in the Netherlands, but I am also still loving the traveling and seeing places and meeting people. To make things worse, Karen and I have been talking about buying a property here in Dublin or Ireland in general and turning it into a successful little B&B. And to be completely honest, I'm kinda warming up to the idea of that.. Why can't I just divide myself into two and do both.

Why can life be so challenging, uncertain and contradictory when you're young?

Why do these things happen to me? The worst thing is, it feels like a heavy burden that I am going to have to choose sooner rather than later and I know so bloody well that it is a luxury problem.. I should feel really lucky, but right now it sucks more than anything..

Anyway, I'll try and at least enjoy my final days here with Karen, since she's been such a wonderful friend and travel buddy, I don't want to ruin her mood as well as mine.

Oops, I have to go, because we are going to listen to some live music sung by a friend of mine:)

One thing I know for sure: We will be back!
