It was more difficult to know I was leaving Dublin after this brief return. Perhaps it was the parallels between my initial arrival that left me excited about what could follow if I stayed for another year. Part of me did want to stay! Apart from the practical things like being a US citizen trying to stay in Ireland or finding a job, the idea of staying in Dublin as a non-student would be a nice way to spend some time. Yet I know that's what it would be: spending time. I know my next steps in life and in my career will lead me away from Dublin and away from the wonderful folks I have come to know and to cherish. I already look forward to being there again for a visit.
And only time will tell if I will return again for more than a visit. I certainly hope I will.
