Many people travelling home this Christmas might be reminded of some teenage obsessions – for Ian Maleney it's the Conor Oberst lyrics he scrawled on a bedroom cupboard with permanent marker.
Is the bedroom in your parents’ home still a relic to your childhood? Or has it changed completely since you moved out? Do you sleep in your old bed when you come back to Ireland for Christmas? Or perhaps the house where you grew up has been sold, and your room is now someone else’s?
Irish Times Abroad would like to hear from emigrants about the homes and bedrooms they have left behind, and how they feel about returning to them (or not), particularly at this time of year.
Email your thoughts (and pics if you have them) to abroad@irishtimes.com. Thank you.
