Your storytelling is wonderful. I felt so much comfort in your dialogue. It feels so close to home, all those experiences and disappoints/realisations growing up as a woman. Absolutely beautiful.
the short story!!!!!!! it was unreal, im already itching to read the rest of it. i hope baby’s first birthday was magical and hope ur doing okay keelin! sending so much love and light always 💜💜💜
Wow your novel extract is absaloutely stunning! 😊 And I am so with you about adapting after a break up. It's so tough losing someone who is not only meant to be your life partner, but also your best friend. It's taken me a long time to get over my break up but I'm beginning to appreciate the opportunity its given me to grow closer bonds with my friends and family ❤
I’m so sorry you’re going through it too - I find I’m so distracted during the week I don’t notice but then if I’m left alone on the weekends I’ll have a good cry to let it out, but they’re getting less and less frequent ☺️
I almost started crying when you started reading the story, never have I heard anything so relatable. Thanks so much for sharing I really can't wait to read more of your things. I already know myself and so many others are gonna find comfort in what you have to say. You are so talented and beautiful.
As an 18 year old girl growing up in dublin just about to start college now that short story touched my heart in so many ways ❤️ I can’t wait to read it !
the story is so beautiful - i went through a traumatic break up this time last year and your videos and podcasts are the main thing i recommend to my freshly heartbroken friends so just know your wise words comfort so many of us, often!! sending love
Keelin your story was beautiful and I can’t wait to read/hear more of what you write, you have such a gift! I have been thinking a lot about change recently because I just moved out of home and I just wanted to say thank you for all the content you create, I’ve been here since I was 17 which is over 4 years ago now and everytime I enter a chapter of my life where I feel myself changing, there is always something I take away from your videos that makes me feel less alone and more like I’m treading a path that many others have before me. Sending u and Miss B so much love 💖💖💖💖
Feel so lucky we got to hear a bit of your book. You make me feel motivated and want to sit down and write my own. Thankyou for sharing I would listen to the whole thing from what I’ve heard so far.
Growing up in north Dublin this is the very honest and raw storytelling I've been waiting forever for, and you've captured it so beautifully. So happy you've decided to publish and excited for what's to come!!❤
i was ABOUT to go look up the author of this story when you said it’s an excerpt from your writing! it is sooo beautifully written & i love the focus on the small things like when you were describing the bedroom! can’t wait to hear more 🫶
Thank you a lot for sharing the short story! It was comforting to listen to it :) Normally I have a hard time following english audiobooks bc im not native speaker, but yours and the way you where reading it was so nice to follow :))
This was such a lovely vlog. I have actually kept re-watching it the last few days, listening to your story telling as I do mundane tasks around the house, it's so comforting and soothing. Can't wait to hear more of your stories
Thank u keelin, your videos are so true and authentic, u r my comfort person here, as Irish living in Berlin, your vid’s also help me with homesickness.
OMG NEED THE BOOK NOW your story was beautiful, your style of writing is so perfect so relatable and it seems like everything you have to say is so articulate and well written. Cannot wait to read the book or even listen you to read it ❤ you should be so proud of yourself it was beautiful
I had my daughter 11 days ago and I can now appreciate your storytelling and videos even more than before. I cried watching this, at the precious moments between you and your daughter. you are amazing!
Omg, half way through the video I was going to comment that I would love it if you wrote a book and at the end of the video you say you are!! So excited 💛
I cannot wait to read all of your books one day and remember where we first heard them❤ and congratulations … for adapting to change and staying so strong xx
Thank you for this beautiful video. I am going through a breakup rn and life is rough. Needed this to take my mind off it ♥️ Sending you lots of love and healing as always x
Can really relate as a single Mum,to the idea of mourning the future/family you pictured, it's tough. But I guess we never could have imagined being Mum's in our 20s to beautiful girls either, although things often turn out differently to how we'd imagine them it's not always a bad thing. You never know what joy is yet in store ❤ Also loved the story, was about to comment & ask what book it was when you said it was yours! Thrush bench so gas best of luck with the rest of it, looking forward to reading it! X
Aw Lorna sending love to you - I haven’t been to Galway all summer I was hoping to see you but I’m heading to a gig on the 13th of October and staying for the weekend would love to meet up c
you have potential to achieve anything you want Keelin. All you need is DISCIPLINE, DISCIPLINE, DISCIPLINE. just make a plan and stick to it. maybe career coach might help you? i know you didnt ask for advice but i love you so much and i want you to thrive in life. please take care of yourself. failed relationship isnt a failed life. you can also get satisfaction from achievements as well. I love you, take care
I also interviewed for a job this week and didn’t get it so it’s probably affecting my self esteem…. But then me and eimear won an award so it cancelled out 🤣 thank you though x
