Your reflections resonate deeply with me Mark. Especially this part: ''New places seem to offer a choice: how much of our baggage and self-appointed labels will we carry with us? It’s less about inventing a new persona or denying who we are, more about recognising that some of what we carry may never have been ours to begin with.'' Moving to Ireland enabled me to open my baggage and dump the things that have never been mine. I feel lighter here because of that :)
