Do we ever arrive?

I've made it to santiago and thankfully left the masses of people behind! I have found that walking the camino has made me more sensitive to the world around me and the people around me. The emotions I was surrounded by in santiago were just a crazy rollercoaster and I'm relieved to be out of that environment so I can process how I feel, right now I feel so happy and proud of myself! I am a lot closet to being the person I want to be, a lot close to feeling secure and happy. This camino has made me realise that its the genuine people that others grow attached to, that I'm actual fact the more you are yourself the more people can feel connected to you. I also learnt an important lesson about not being selfish. I have never seen myself as a selfish person bit seeing the kindness and generosity of people has made me realise that its so easy to make someone happy by doing something kind and it'll barely cost you a thing. My mission today its to buy beers and hand then to pilgrims as they pass into finisterre to say well done :) mostly this idea came from wanting to give a friend of mine who is arriving today a beer. Why not give everyone a beer then? I need to give back to others what I've been given.

Now that I've reached this place of happiness within myself I how that I can continue it to the ready of my life and not forget the lessons I've learned. The hardest party is yet to come, to make people as content as I am, instead of being brought down again to the mundane of real life. I would like to inspire people to be better. That's the real journey!
