15:40you know you
15:40need you need to decide what you want from yourself i'd love to meet someone around that but i'm quite
15:44independent so maybe i think probably the same like that yeah yeah but obviously it would be nice to
15:49someone to step in as well at the same time so 100 you want someone that complements your life
15:52exactly yeah yeah and can add to it you know i'd love to find a best friend that i fancy
15:57like someone
15:58to wake up in the morning and be like wow i can't believe i get to spend my life with

18:27kind of mocked us for like not having access to bananas and stuff but it was good like you know
18:34as
18:34a child you can't miss what you don't know i loved the unity um in how i grew up um
18:42that's probably
18:43partly because everyone was spying on each other i grew up in an 11 story house with like they had
18:49four flats on each level um and a great thing about it was that um there were kids on each
18:55level and we
18:55all used to play with each other had loving parents um i have an older sister that was really i
19:02am really
19:02close with still so it was a good childhood definitely we didn't have much in the 80s but it was
19:06a good
19:07life you have three children and do they all live with you at all we share custody so it's like
19:1350 50
19:14day yeah yeah so we got we got separated five years ago so we got a divorce there last month
19:20met my next partner at work when i was apprentice fell in love married kids um life kind of got
19:26very
19:27busy 20 years kind of of marriage and it fell away then and basically common interests weren't so common
19:34then i thought once i got married you know you get 2.4 children get the white picket fence in
19:38labrador
19:38or that's it job done box and put on the shelf work on i didn't respect that the marriage kind
19:43of needed constant work like you know i was totally self-centered on on work and providing
19:47where i was working two jobs the kids were young i was constantly providing but like i didn't i didn't
19:51see them grow up but my core value is now to kind of checking with the kids make sure they're
19:56working
19:57fine make sure everything's going on with them fine as well like you know i have the children uh saturday
20:01sunday monday and tuesday so then when wednesday thursday friday kick in the house is empty

20:20yeah yeah i feel you
20:29once upon a time in mexico it's so long to see the world but then she found herself here
20:39i was very shy growing up but then i realized that i was missing out on a lot
20:47that's when i started to travel and then i started to become more comfortable in my own self

26:07it up before so it's like basically a thing where it affects you having children why i start experiencing
26:13very bad pain in my early teens and i was in the hospital for years on end and they didn't
26:19know
26:20what was going on they told me it was all in my head and sent me home at 16 i
26:25was diagnosed and then
26:26at 18 i had my fourth surgery which needs to happen a lot for it to actually stay at bay
26:33knowing that i wanted kids knowing that that can affect it was hard for me
26:39well i've gotten to accept that yeah this is going to be the way it is 25 26 is probably
26:46the age where
26:48yeah yeah probably harder no it's much harder i don't want to get busy sound like
26:54come on we just like it will you guys will get going
27:02are you nervous i am a bit nervous yeah i am i feel like it takes a bit of time
27:07to like you're you know
27:08get to know someone and chat away physically i don't really have a type but i guess a nice smile
27:15is something i really like nice hair but yeah overall i think personality is is more important
27:21to me i'm in the border i'm in juarez like it's like next to el paso texas what is texas
27:27like i would
27:28say like texas is mexico texas west mexico so yeah in my brain it's like we won't get into colonization
27:33the best place oh yeah that's nice i have a native american heritage uh through my dad
27:42he's uh 80 percent chiricawa there's this whole little story that we come from a reservation in
27:48texas and then we were running away uh in the 1800s we ended up in chihuahua and we had to
27:55change our
27:56name do you go to texas much i would go every single weekend to visit my auntie in el paso

35:53you really gotta want it oh i know that too yeah if there's no going back once you go down
35:57that route

37:15rather
37:15be 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 perfect
37:42throughout my whole date in history and definitely now i'm very avoidant like it definitely takes me a
37:48while to get to that level of giddiness and love when did you come to ireland then ah two years
37:55ago i was
37:56solo traveling met a guy so i came to ireland on and off like for that they were irish for
38:02that
38:02oh they were irish and where were you living that uh in mexico yeah i had like a full-on
38:08like engineer
38:09job put my career on pause think the thing that i shouldn't have done and then i moved into ireland
38:16like uh full-time six months ago and then like the relationship didn't work out so i just like
38:22moved in on my own like i did my own things it's a bit crazy how like uh he went
38:29to mexico four times
38:30to visit me within a year then i came here and then like within months like that it was like
38:35okay
38:37but you fell in love with ireland oh i fell in love with ireland like oh my god when you've
38:43been
38:43through a relationship and then you break up there is a gap that you have to go out there and
38:48find
38:48yourself and you feel lonely but then when you find yourself again having fun and being happy doing
38:56you then you don't feel sad and lonely what would you be into like girls i don't overly have any
39:03physical preferences i said a nice smile but she definitely have gorgeous teeth so that was
39:08a viewer 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 enjoy the company
39:29as well this is good as soon as i've seen you chatting i said this is going well yeah there's
39:35like there's no quiet moments into mountain biking and he's also loving his freedom and stuff
39:39and it's it's just not my time
39:42i hope it's not going to be awkward later on you know when we do like do you want to
39:50see each other
39:51romantically again uh maybe just be like oh he was super nice and i mean like with no spark can
39:58i say
39:59that please that's a fair thing to do now you know okay no if he wants to pay then okay
40:12it's really outgoing so i'm so glad because if it was really quiet i'd be like
40:19i just like to be i'm gonna ring my man in a minute any of the talks i'm like what
40:23but my
40:24mouth would be the exact same my mind i'd want to talk to him it's going well but i can
40:29tell that
40:29it's like a like it's slowly building up i do feel like we're both like slow like we're both like
40:36girlies
40:37like feminine energy so we have to take our little time i'm down for it i like it we're very
40:44like similar
40:46like beliefs wise and morals nice like i know we probably shouldn't be talking politics on the
40:52first date but we are well if it's working that's grand i wouldn't be with someone who's kind of my
40:57values and morals weren't like similar i think you're right you know because your values affect everything
41:02yeah what do you think makes for a good relationship i think it's just when the two individuals can
41:11completely be themselves when they just have a happiness aura to them i love like going getting
41:19a coffee in a coffee shop before work reading my book are you a reader yeah i read at night
41:27before
41:27i go to bed choosing every single day to love that person uh choosing every single day to stay there
41:35yeah so that's what my sister's hat looks like he's an angel he's an angel they're so mesmerizing
41:41aren't they how old is he she 12 oh oh i got him when i was 15. i brought him
41:48to ireland with me like how
41:49could i not no they're such a huge comfort they're the best friend yeah very rich
42:04oh are we there we've come to the end i'm so sorry yeah can we split can we split the
42:11bell
42:13i'm gonna pay for all of it all right all right all right yeah i'd rather do that you know
42:19yeah it's my treat all right whatever you want to do my irish friend told me not to are you
42:25don't
