Story Transcript:Ga: Fáinne fí na haimsire an fhómhair i mBaile Átha Cliath, áit a raibh scamall liath na spéire go seasta ag brú anuas ar intinn dhaoine.En: The vicious cycle of autumn weather in Baile Átha Cliath, where the gray clouds of the sky consistently weighed down on people's minds.Ga: Bhí Niamh, mac léinn óg sa Tríonóid, ag streachailt ar bhealach eile leis an dorchadas a d’fhás laistigh dí.En: Niamh, a young student at Trinity College, struggled in another way with the darkness growing inside her.Ga: Tá sé de dhualgas uirthi luí isteach ar an staidéar i mbotáin, ach fuair sí amach go raibh scléip na bliana imeachta anois agus brón á clúdach ina háit.En: It was her duty to commit to studying in the Botany, but she discovered that the excitement of the year had now faded, replaced by sadness.Ga: Bhí Seán agus Aoife ar a taobh, cairde gnaíúla a raibh eolas acu ar a cruatain, ach go minic, bhí an troid seo uirthi féin a throid.En: Seán and Aoife were by her side, kind friends who understood her struggles, but often, this was a battle she had to fight on her own.Ga: In ainneoin a gcuid tacaíochta, ba iad laethanta an fhómhair, a bhí ag teacht isteach le lá an gheimhridh, ba thuirsiúil.En: Despite their support, the autumn days, which led into winter, were exhausting.Ga: Diagnóisíodh Niamh le neamhoird mhéadaithe séasúrach, SAD mar a thugann muintir na cathrach air, agus bhí sí ag cuardach faoisimh.En: Niamh was diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder, known as SAD by city folks, and she was searching for relief.Ga: Ansin, bhí smaoineamh aici.En: Then, she had an idea.Ga: Gach lá, d’fhéadfadh sí éalú chuig an gairdín botánach sa choláiste.En: Every day, she could escape to the botanical garden at the college.Ga: Suíomh gaoil is gaire di, áit a choinneodh plúir agus duilleoga a mbeadh dathanna cosúil lena smaointe geala féin orthu.En: It was a place closest to her heart, where flowers and leaves held colors similar to her bright thoughts.Ga: Bhí cinneadh déanta—beidh cuairt laethúil ar an ngairdín mar údar faoisimh agus suaimhnis.En: A decision was made—a daily visit to the garden would be a source of relief and tranquility.Ga: Lá amháin, agus Niamh ag siúl trí labyrinth an fhómhair, bhuail sí le bláth thar a bheith geal.En: One day, as Niamh walked through the autumn labyrinth, she encountered an exceptionally bright flower.Ga: Bhí sé cosúil le ceann a chonaic sí ina hóige.En: It was like one she had seen in her youth.Ga: Thug an cuimhne sin meon úr di.En: That memory gave her a new perspective.Ga: Thuig sí go raibh laethanta eile ina saol nuair a bhí sí bríomhar agus láidir, agus gurbh fhéidir léi sin a dhéanamh arís.En: She realized there were other days in her life when she was vibrant and strong, and she could be that way again.Ga: Thosaigh sí ag díriú ar ghníomhartha beaga chun an anbhroid a shárú.En: She began focusing on small actions to overcome the anxiety.Ga: Bhí sí gnóthach, ach d’aithin sí gur féidir solas a thabhairt isteach ina saol ó imeachtaí beaga laethúla.En: She was busy, but she recognized that light could be brought into her life through small daily events.Ga: Chuir sí tús le bheith ag siúl gach maidin sa ghairdín.En: She started walking every morning in the garden.Ga: Thosaigh sí ag cumadh amhráin di féin agus ag tabhairt cuireadh dá cairde teacht léi go minic.En: She began composing songs for herself and inviting friends to join her often.Ga: Bhí an gairdín anaithnid anois ina áit eolais agus a d’athraigh í go han-mhór.En: The once-unknown garden had become a place of knowledge that changed her greatly.Ga: Ag deireadh, níorbh é an fhómhar dorcha a bhí in ann a heaspa misnigh a thabhairt ar ais.En: In the end, the dark autumn could not bring back her lack of courage.Ga: Bhraith sí go raibh neart agus crógacht aici.En: She felt she had strength and bravery.Ga: Thuig sí anois go raibh earrach inmheánach aici féin, rud a d’fhéadfaí a aimsiú in am áthais nó cosúil le bláth geal i measc na duilleoga dhoiléir.En: She now understood she had an inner spring within herself, something that could be found in times of joy or like a bright flower among the dull leaves.Ga: Níl sí réidh chun an dorchadas a ligean isteach go héasca arís.En: She wasn't ready to let the darkness in easily again.Ga: Agus an Díoladh Altacha ag druidim linn, d’aithin sí cé chomh tábhachtach is a bhí a cuid cairde agus na heispéiris a roinn sí leo sa ghairdín, áit a raibh cuimhní cinn ag fás mar bhláthanna geala sa talamh fhuar.En: As Díoladh Altacha approached, she recognized how important her friends and the experiences she shared with them in the garden were, where memories grew like bright flowers in the cold ground.Ga: Le sin, fuair sí amach gur féidir le pobal, suíomh agus diongbháilteacht an bealach chuig gliondar a aibhsiú, fiú in am anró.En: With this, she discovered that community, place, and determination could highlight the path to joy, even in times of hardship.
