"My Journey Across The Atlantic Part II"

Conquering Freedom "My Journey Across The Atlantic Part II"       The second leg of my trip was really interesting.  I ended up going to Dublin, Ireland.  When I landed I could tell the major difference between the city of London and the serenity of Dublin.  My pockets could also tell the difference too because I went from paying the British pound to the euro which made things a lot more affordable in Ireland. The very first thing I noticed in Ireland was that there were no black people lol.  Great cultural experience for sure but dang I did not see a hint of African or African American people. I wasn't shocked but its always good to visit places where you have little roots to see how other people live.

Conquering Freedom "My Journey Across The Atlantic Part I"      Waiting, waiting and waiting for the perfect moment until I realized that the perfect moments are usually ALWAYS....imperfect. The perfect moments have bad timing and are filled with lots of spontaneity. Not my strong suite or preference but aye working on uncomfortable areas of my life.  So I thought on it and finally I had the courage to just do it...I hit the button. Forget the perfect moment, forget how I think things should be and just go for it.  Screw up, get lost and just be free. Its really ok.  So I planned my own trip and I confirmed my own itinerary nevertheless interesting place, Dublin, Ireland.  No language barriers just a fun time lost in places that are new. Great plan right? (internally thinking stupid plan)      My natural instinct and my mind as usual were telling me nahhh man that’s too much, that’s crazy, don’t do it but my heart, yeah ...
