volver

Im back in Barcelona.. And I just remembered just why I looove this city! The first days were weird, I felt a bit lost, everything had changed, I didnt recognise the streets, everything seemed unfamiliar..and situations were weird.. so much drama.. and I got really drunk. And it wasnt fun.

But today I was just walking around, to all the places I used to walk around a year ago.. From my place to work, from work to barrio gotico, where I had my catalan lessons, in raval, crossing las ramblas to go to the supermarket (that used to be such a pain, with all the tourists strolling there), walking around the park of ciutadella, it all felt so familiar, so cosy.. getting a drink in el born and just sitting down in my favourite plaza, de felipe neri, where people were murdered by Franco. It all came back, details of the city that made my life here special. Its so beautiful, so alive, so full of things to see and do and enjoy, and people to meet. I feel so blessed for having the opportunity to live in such an amazing city..

I have 3 days left.. I just want to walk and walk and feel the city and capture this feeling so I can come back to it when things get tough.. My life is about to change soon and that change scares me.. but I can always look back on the good times and get strength from them..
