Actually Going Outside

Actually Going Outside We decide to do the cliff walk from Bray to Greystones even though the day is grey and the heavy clouds are low overhead with a distinct possibility that it will bucket out of the skies but we don’t care because we’ve set aside the day for this and a few pissy showers aren’t going to stop us from making the journey along the winding Wicklow coastline because we promised ourselves we’d do it and we want to stick to our guns this time because we’ve spent too long putting things off and wasting our time on Facebook and You Tube and prevaracation and telling our friends all the interesting things we do when in reality it’s a virtual reality we’re fabricating that is more or less an entangled mass of tissued stories and tall tales and posed-for selfies to delude ourselves and others that we have an actual life but not this time because this time we are actually going outside.
