The paper draws on an ethnographic fieldwork among the Polish migrants in Dublin who decided not to return to Poland in a predictable future. I describe the relation of a state effect and wellbeing as a sphere that can be perceived as the social climate by the transnational migrants. The imaginaries and retrospective rationalisations of experiences, feelings and memories connected to a quality of state functioning and a society’s openness / oppressiveness impressions create inter-connected space for comparisons of two realities known to the migrants who have left Poland for Ireland over a decade ago, on the eve of their economic self-responsibility, and who are currently justifying their choice to continue their living there.

Since the beginning of anthropology as a discipline there was an internal criticism of over-simplifying and too static approaches to describing and explaining a Human. It led to mobilising the epistemological and methodological attempts in order to grasp changing, relative, dynamic, nuanced and contextual relations between a person and society in their cultural manifestations.
In this article I consider a rising interest in various forms of mobility, both social and spatial in reference to growing subjectivity of people who are in focus of an anthropological study.
