In six hours time, I will wake up to receive the keys to my new apartment. It will at the same time be a year since I stopped at the bridge that divides France and Spain, Hendaye and Irun, ate my first cold breakfast on the Camino, cried at my own silliness for embarking on such a harebrained scheme, and then followed my first yellow arrows.
I cannot believe it has already been a whole year. I still miss it every day. I walked into Santiago on the 17th of August 2017, and yet I know that my Camino is not over because I still constantly want to go back. I've walked in Germany, and it's not the same. I can't wait to be back in Spain and I'm hoping it won't be too long...
I just needed to share that with some people who will understand. It's been a year. 365 days. I am forever changed. And I miss being an active peregrina.
If you are excited, nervous, nostalgic, frustrated... please know this: The Camino is a gift. The Camino is worth it. All of it; any of it.
