Incredible language exhibit in Victoria. People ask me all the time “why learn Gaeilge? No one speaks it anymore, you don’t get anything from it.” The loss of language is a loss of identity and culture. You shouldn’t feel you need to monetize something for it to be a viable use of time.

Menu for neighbor dinner tonight. Making an effort to connect with people and build community will 100% help everyone in the coming months. Plus it’s fun to organize over French dinner.
