Dear Ireland

I'm writing this because you have earned it. You've earned in the most peculiar ways a place in my heart. Deep within me there must be a drop of some irish (perhaps green) blood, that have turned my life upside down.
It started with something innocent, just a melody from a fiddle. And the seed was planted, I was hooked. So your melody led me unto a path I could not see the magnitude of. 13 years after that melody, I'm still wandering along that road with nothing to lead me but my heart. And at every bend, I've discovered something new. Some things wonderful, some things that makes me feel ashamed, some things makes me angry and some makes me laugh and smile.
Why, Ireland, have you captured my heart? With your history, your language, culture, music and people. Are you secretly trying to make me into an Irish woman?

Any ways: thanks for the company so far and happy St Patricks Day
