When my family and other loved ones started asking me what I wanted for my birthday, I kept telling them that I honestly had no idea. While they seemed convinced that I was just trying to make things difficult for them, I honestly didn’t have any idea of what I wanted. Fortunately, my family and other loved ones are more clever than I give them credit for sometimes, and before they ever even asked me what I wanted, they already had a plan in mind since they anticipated I would say nothing (the reason they knew that is because that had been my usual response for at least four to five years).
The plan they had all come up with was to chip in together and arrange a trip for me to go to Dublin. Because this was such a nice gift, I honestly didn’t feel like I deserved it. However, it wasn’t something that I could turn down (because I really did want to go), so I decided just to be happy I have such great people around me and enjoy my trip to Dublin to the fullest (which I must say I did quite well).
