15:40you know you
15:40you need you need to decide what you want from yourself i'd love to meet someone around that
15:43but i'm quite independent so maybe i think probably the same like that yeah but obviously it would be

15:52life don't you yeah and can add to it you know i'd love to find a best friend that i
15:57fancy like
15:57someone to wake up in the morning and be like wow i can't believe i get to spend my life
16:02with you this
16:02is brilliant if you bought the same interest and you're never going to really learn anything it's going
16:06to be a bit boring whether it's you you could teach me something new that i'm not used

18:33know as a child you can't miss what you don't know i loved the unity um in how i grew
18:41up and that's
18:42probably partly because everyone was spying on each other i grew up in an 11 story house with like
18:48they had four flats on each level and and a great thing about it was that um there were kids
18:54on each
18:55level and we all used to play with each other yeah i had loving parents um i have an older
19:00sister
19:01that was really i am really close with still so it was a good childhood definitely we didn't have

19:40put
19:40on the shelf work on i didn't respect that the marriage kind of needed constant work like you know
19:44i was totally self-centered on on work and providing where i was working two jobs the kids were young
19:49i was constantly providing but like i didn't i didn't see them grow up but my core value is
19:54now to kind of checking with the kids make sure they're working fine make sure everything's going

20:29once upon a time in mexico it's so long to see the world but then she found herself here
20:37i was very shy growing up but then i realized that i was missing out on a lot

26:10having children why i start experiencing very bad pain in my early teens and i was in the hospital for
26:18years on end and they didn't know what was going on they told me it was all in my head

26:30lot for
26:31to actually stay at bay knowing that i wanted kids knowing that that can affect it was hard for me
26:38but i've gotten to accept that yeah this is going to be the way it is 25 26 is probably
26:46the age where

27:21i'm in the border i'm in juarez like it's like next to el paso texas what is texas like i
27:27would say
27:28like texas is mexico texas was mexico so yeah in my brain it's like we won't get into colonization
27:33i have a native american heritage uh through my dad he's uh 80 percent chiricawa there's this whole
27:46little story that we come from a reservation in texas and then we were running away uh in the 1800s

27:58go every
27:59single weekend to visit my auntie in el paso oh no we have like a border crossing visa i have
28:05a permit

29:02group so i feel like that kind of feeds my soul i would love to be in that that sector
29:08maybe further
29:09down the line but i definitely um enjoy doing it on the side and it's something i'm very passionate
29:14about yesterday i was at the botanic gardens and we were looking at the squirrels and i was telling
29:20the kids like those gray squirrels are colonizer squirrels the redhead squirrels like they they were
29:26killed like that just bringing it back to what you're saying like everything's political you know
29:30everything is political yeah it is i just see the sun outside they go right and the bike so
29:38they should be right on the bike and that's it then the back in so when you say mountain biking
29:41is that
29:41then there's what's it called like when you're in the woods and then yeah that's it yeah trails yeah

37:15i'd rather be traveling to the deep end here like do you know what i mean
37:22i've been single like a year and a half and i was seeing a girl for a while maybe a
37:28year ago and
37:29then i just kind of realized i just wasn't ready today and as you know like lesbians move very
37:34quickly so yeah they do okay are you bi or are you lesbian i'm bi yeah i'm like you
37:42perfect throughout my whole date in history and definitely now i'm very avoidant like it definitely
37:47takes me a while to get to that level of giddiness and love when did you come to ireland then
37:53ah
37:55two years ago i was solo traveling met a guy so i came to ireland on and off like for
38:01that
38:01they were irish were they oh they were irish and where were you living that uh in mexico yeah i
38:07had like
38:08a full-on like engineer job put my career on pause think the thing that i shouldn't have done
38:14and then i moved into ireland like uh full time six months ago and then like the relationship didn't
38:20work out so i just like moved in on my own like i did my own things it's a bit
38:26crazy how like uh he
38:29went to mexico four times to visit me within a year then i came here and then like within months
38:34like
38:35that it was like okay but you fell in love with ireland oh i fell in love with ireland like
38:40oh my god
38:42when you've been through a relationship and then you break up there is a gap that you have
38:47to go out there and find yourself and you feel lonely but then when you find yourself again having
38:54fun and being happy doing you then you don't feel sad and lonely why would you be into like
39:01girls i don't overly have any physical preferences i said a nice smile which you definitely have
39:07gorgeous teeth so that was a beauty type i said like brown hair i mean blue oceany
39:23so he's very kind he's very friendly he lives in carlingford yeah i enjoyed it i enjoyed the company
39:29as well this is good cool as soon as i've seen you chatting i said ah this is going well
39:33yeah there's
39:34like there's no quiet moments into mountain biking and he's also loving his freedom and stuff and it's
39:41it's it's just not my time i hope it's not going to be awkward later on you know when we
39:50do like do
39:50you want to see each other romantically again uh maybe just be like oh he was super nice and i
39:56mean like
39:56but no spark can i say that please that's a fair thing to do now you know oh let me
40:04pay no
40:07if he wants to pay then okay
40:12it's really outgoing so i'm so glad because if he was really quiet i'd be like
40:19i just like i'm gonna ring my man in a minute any of the talks i'm like what
40:23but my man would be the exact same my man i'd want to talk to him it's going well but
40:28i can tell
40:29that it's like a like it's slowly building up i do feel like we're both like slow like we're both
40:35like
40:36girlies like feminine energy so we have to take our little time i'm down for it i like it
40:43we're very like similar like beliefs wise and morals nice like i know we probably shouldn't be
40:51talking politics on the first date but we are well if it's working that's grand i wouldn't be with
40:56someone who's kind of my values and morals weren't like similar i think you're right you know because
41:01your values affect everything yeah what do you think makes for a good relationship i think it's
41:09just when the two individuals can completely be themselves when they just have a happiness aura to
41:16them i love like going getting a coffee in a coffee shop before work reading my book are you a
41:24reader
41:25yeah i read at night before i go to bed choosing every single day to love that person uh choosing
41:33every single day to stay there yeah so that's what my sister's hat looks like an angel he's an angel
