Casa Batlló, Barcelona, Spain
I spent 5 days in Barcelona, and a week in Andalusia, alone. I spoke to other tourists and locals alike, hung out with them, and felt lonely at times, but my time here called to mind how much I love myself and my own company, values and thoughts, and the gratitude and love I feel for the Universe.
“He is misunderstood, and until his authority is absolute and Heaven has smiled on him, he may be considered mad. It is through his belief in himself, without the support of others to lean on, that he finally does attain greatness; nothing is able to resist him and everything rushes to do his bidding. Because of his belief in this knowledge, he continues on in his quest and does not stop. That is also why Heaven must eventually give way.”
