The World According to Shawn
Saturday, December 16, 2006
 

In the last three weeks I met 2 of the most interesting people I have ever known. Jennifer is a 22 year old girl from France who moved to Ireland because she hates France, and the French way of life. She is alot like me, especially in the way she thinks about life, love, and happiness.

Kristofer is from Poland and he moved to Ireland because he hated Poland, and he hated the Polish way of life. He was earning about 300 Euro a month in Poland working as a delivery boy, which is barely enough to live on in any society, but is the reality for a large majority of Polish people. He is now earning 5 times that much in a month in Ireland, so for him it was not only a chance to do something he wanted to do, but it is something better. At only 20 years old, he speaks about topics as though he was a man of 45 years or more.

Then there is myself, who loves living here in Ireland, and disliked America very much, but never hated it. I wanted to live anywhere in Europe, but my reasons are neither as strong or as convincing as theres are. I mean my reasons are quality of life, work, and politics. Which don't seem so strong when I compare myself to all of the things they have told me in the past two weeks. I think in a way it even makes me selfish, because I am never happy with what I have, but I always want something better.
