I am Free
Hi You guys!
Now my "Summer of Freedom" has come to an end. All I wanted to achieve is done and I am sitting here a bit melancholic. It was such a drive for me to have this blog and this goal to reach for. I really lived this summer very powerfully. I took actions to reach all the parts of my plan so I could walk this trip.
First I got the idea and I made a blog about it so the word would be out there. In this way it was less likely that I would back out as so many times before. After that I had to study really hard so I could finish all I had to read as soon as possible. This would give me time to work to get money for my trip. I had to pass all my exams while working and after that work even more so I would get enough money for the whole summer, not just the trip. I had troubles getting work and then I had to move the time of the trip and then I was scared it would crash with the semester at uni this fall. I had multiple breakdowns! Not at least all the times I was terrified of leaving everything that was known and everyone that I know, to go on an adventure that was a lot bigger than what I have ever done before. I was so scared! A few nights I even cried because I was so confronted with this trip.
The important thing is that I kept going, I kept taking the actions that would lead me to my goal. Maybe not EXACTLY how I planned it in the beginning, plans are only and outline, and things will change while you proceed, but I made it to the finish line. I walked Camino de Santiago without worrying about money and with all my exams passed from the spring semester.
This has been such an expression of freedom for me! You know how we usually think that things are impossible or difficult or we stop at the first obstacle? My summer has been free from these unreal limitations. I have done what I wanted to do despite everything that came up, both the real obstacles and the obstacles in my head. I have been so free!!! I am so proud of that!!! I am proud that I walked 630 kilometers too of course, but mainly I am proud that I have been so free!!!
The world is a beautiful place if you only learn not to take in the conversations saying differently. You can cause what you want guys. Action by action, solving obstacle after obstacle. Do this and you are free as well.
The only thing that is left to say now is that since the summer is over, what about the blog? I have not decided yet if I will keep writing on it, make a new one with a more suitable name for the times to come or if I will stop writing for now. I am open to suggestions!:)
It has been a blast and thank you so much for the support and love from all of you guys!
Take care and use tomorrow to make someone happy!
Here are some highlights:
"On top of the world" on my 45 kilometer day, totally amazing:)
Reaching the goal was simply unreal
I have always loved this schell, the scallop, but it becomes even more special when you are following it to find the path for 4 weeks.
New relationship to my body: CHECK!!!!! I LOVE and admire it so much! Your body can do so much more that what your brain think you capable of.
Big Love from Ragnhild:)
