My histrory with walking

I wanted to tell this story more carefully, I wanted it to be impressive and well written but I guess I don't have the heart for it just now.

Ok my addiction or love for walking began around the time I was 14, I was at that time recently re-dislocated to Kerela and suddenly plunged in to relative poverty. The next 2 years would be difficult and turmoiled in many ways, needless to say my emotions where in a constant state of flux.

I started walking back from school, which was 7km away from my home, because I would drink salted plain soda with the bus money. As i was often joined on that walk by my more affluent but loyal friend the walks never seemed long, except for the end portion after his house where i had to walk alone. Well times became slightly more difficult and somehow the walk started becoming more meaningful.

Our friendship grew stronger on those walks and we invented and created wildl stories of epic proportions as we walked. I was happy despite all else. Soon I left Kerela and stopped walking as much, it would be almost 4 years before I would turn to it again. I fell ill and almost got kicked out of the university in my first year, I was also at the same time trying deal with the rejections of someone I desperately loved, both combined and the prospects of bringing shame upon my family had me on the brink of a breakdown. I started walking again. I walked and then ran, reaching a point where I was running more than 8 km a day.

I made it through my course passed with honors, the girl I loved ended up being mine for a brief moment and life was good again. I stopped walking. Again after almost 4 years I return to walking again, this time to survive the love for another. I cannot love in portions or in moderations, i fall completely, helplessly and with out considerations for my own self, I prefer to do this such but I cannot let that intense emotion destroy friendships or the happiness of the ones I love. Walking allows me to deal with my emotions and protect myself from drowing in my self.So I will walk my way to a smile and a lighter heart.
