A year ago, I moved back to the city where I was born, Barcelona. And I felt the same I felt the first time I left it, five years ago: I was carrying on my back so many memories along with a deep guilt feeling for leaving people I loved and who loved me.

What is the difference between loving, wanting and needing? Borders between these three emotions are often not that clear. And confusions between them make life much harder, heavier and desperate. During this last year I learned about it. And this knowledge makes me feel much freer now. No rancor feelings, no blame, nor needs; but calm, understanding, and love. Letting people be.
