When I was younger, I was under the illusion that as I progressed through my mid-20s, I would be inundated with invites to housewarmings, engagement parties, weddings, and baby showers.

That the young people of my generation in Ireland would be filled with hope, prosperity, and excitement for their future, with plenty of opportunities to build their lives, in whatever way they wished and worked for.
