No, I am not going to apologize for not posting on here more often. A week into walking I realized that forcing myself to inauthentically post about my experiences was taking away from my actual experiences. Being present is so important on the Camino. The memories I have made with friends and the thoughts I have had with myself are too beautiful and indescribable to post publicly. My walk on the Camino is slowly but quickly coming to an end and the last thing I want to do right now is take myself away from savoring every sweet moment that I have left. I understand why people get addicted to walking now. I have found myself not ready to stop yet. For the past month walking the Camino had been my life. Literally my work, my education, my play. My existence has been enveloped by this walk.

Yes, I understand the desire or reason for sharing but I have found that this walk has been for me. I don’t mean to shut anyone out when not talking more openly about my Camino. As far as education goes, I am not resisting from posting as a rebellious act, I am simply doing the Camino in the best way for me. I have not been blowing through everyday without archiving memories and experiences, I have been making sure to keep a daily journal but that again is only for me. I feel like the Camino would be cheapened if I shared some of the most beautiful things from it. Camino magic is a real thing. There is nothing like it. all me crazy, and I’ll tell you that’s fine for you to think but I will continue to be hesitant when sharing my walk.

I could and will continue to bet that moments I have had on the Camino will be some of the best times of my life. Camino magic is a real thing. There is nothing like it.
