‘Cis’ is the term arriving from Latin (cisapline) meaning ‘on the same
side as’ and is used in contrast with ‘trans,’ meaning ‘on the other
side of.’
Does the idea of the past change through the dialogue with AI?
The cold snowy landscape mirrored the pace of my old life. Suddenly
the realisation dawned; despite the promise of happiness, I struggle
with the rigidity of Nordic life. Within the safety of Nordic culture, I
still feel trapped. Trapped in a systematic routine where any deviation
from the norm is unthinkable.
I miss the freedom of island living: the bus never being on time, a late
night walk home. I’m not sure why I miss wasting time, random mischief
and forbidden miles. Is the grass greener where the snow melts? I aim
to explore the similarities between the winter darkness and isolation,
currently mirroring my feelings towards Ireland. I long to establish a
deeper understanding between distant yet strikingly similar places,
focusing on the complexities of hyperlocal perspectives, and migratory
shifts, that reinforce questions associated with Irish identity.
