Pub Survival Guide:
What No One Tells You Before You Order a Guinness in Ireland
Dear Ireland,
They told me the pub was just a place to drink.
But I found something else entirely.
I found music in the corner and strangers who felt like old friends.
I found stories that spilled out easier than the pints.
And I found that silence, too, has its place — especially when the Guinness is settling.
You never asked me to be anything but myself.
Just to sit, to listen, and maybe — if I was lucky — to join in the song.
I never wanted the night to end.
And yet, even when it did, you walked me home with a warm memory in my chest.
– Yours, always, the quiet tourist who finally understood
