Funny how plans and mindsets change so abruptly. I was so adamant on doing this alone. But sitting in the kitchen at the hostel in Pamplona, watching my fellow friends (classmates) cook and drink wine and laugh together just made everything feel alright in the world. I truly don’t believe that people are meant to be alone. There are times for it, of course, but in general company and friends is so, so important. Why is there such a stigma around reflection only being possicle in the midst of isolation? Why can’t you learn about yourself and the world through others? Honestly, at the end of the day, relationships are really all that matters. They make you feel whole. This trip has taken a wonderful turn.
