been finally learning to history of my homeland in the last few yrs.
growing up, the troubles was all i rly knew about ireland. the propaganda version of the troubles, that is. that it was irish on irish, no mention of the crown.
i only learned recently how it even started, and what it rly meant to be a catholic in the north.

and sr michael is like, me, if i had somehow ended up a nun.
(not being a subject of the irish catholic church is my main consolation for being born here. typing that line sent chills down my spine.)
