The count back to this day felt slow, mellow and confusing, but it was definetly worth it. I used to think it was going to be the most challenging part of the trip, and the anticipation was killing me, no one knew and no one expected the slightest thing. After telling everyone I was going back to my beloved flight, I took a 6 day journey (Yes, 6 days, that's what happens when you keep losing flights), through India, Malaysia, Singapour, Qatar and eventually Spain to reach my family and my home. Just landing at the airport, I was spotted by the man repeating to everyone "European Passport this way, please", that looked at me and said "Tu ets d'aquí de casa, eh?" , and reality got inside of my body in a weird mix of feelings. Anna, my friend from university was my only complice, picked me up from the airport and took me to her home in Masnou for my first night back here. She treated me with so much kindness and generosity that it felt so good to be back, in a way like I was never gone, in another like this was a parallel life of mine. Weird. After my first night back, woke up, did some yoga, had some breakfast, went to her cafe to read a little bit (and dealt with a bit of inner drama to realise that my brother Albert wasn't comming to our yearly christmas dinner). Went back to her place, chatted more , had a beautiful walk along Masnou (forgot how beautiful sunsets were always here), and Anna drove me to my parents'place for my bigbig surprise. It was one of the most pure and beautiful moments I've ever experienced in my life,, the joy and emotion of my parents was indescribable, we all cried and hugged after me telling them that their christmas gift once again was in the post box. After that,y other brother Jordi with the rest of the family arrived so I could surprise them again. The dinner was fantastic (and overwhelming to be the center of attention after so much tiredness), next day we woke up, they opened their gifts and we went to the big family lunch (also overwhelming but so nice to experience it once again), at night drove to see Helena and Iris for our little christmas dinner (yes, another surprise). Next day the last surprise I had prepared was for Nere, her friend Nico helped me set it up, so she had to guess who I was with her eyes blindfolded (and yes, she failed), we spent the day together and had dinner at her friend's place. It was such a joy to be back and to feel so surrounded of love.Read more
