Why I walk every day (wrong answers only)

 I have been walking every day for 400 days, Yes, 400 straight days. Sometimes I wonder why I started. Sometimes I ask myself if I will ever stop. But when I remember, the answers are probably all wrong anyway.

So in the spirit of honesty (and absurdity), here are the wrong answers only for why I walk every day.

  • I am escorting the sun.
  • I am trying to wear out the road.
  • I am slowly trying to escape my thoughts but they walk faster
  • So my thoughts can stretch their legs.
  • I walk to remind the dust who I am.
  • I walk so my worries get tired before I do.
  • I am afraid that my shadow will leave if I stop.
  • I am proving to my knees that they are not in charge.
  • To build stamina for national resistance resilience.
  • I walk to generate my own power.
  • Sitting too long looks suspicious in this country.
  • Complaining requires energy and I am saving mine.
  • I walk to keep my expectations low and blood pressure lower.
  • I am doing my own infrastructure development.
  • Just in case the future requires endurance more than intelligence.
  • I am hoping to accidentally bump into a better version of myself.
  • To inspect and supervise the potholes.
  • I owe my shoes loyalty.
  • I walk to look for where yesterday went.
  • To confuse my problems on purpose.
  • Tomorrow is always fully booked. I must as well walk today.
  • In case someone needs to see a serious-looking person.
  • To locate the development we were promised. 
The truth, of course, is that some of these reasons may not even be wrong. Walking is one of those things where the act itself becomes more important than the explanation. It is about moving and showing up for yourself. Sometimes I walk to think. Sometimes I walk to escape. And yes, sometimes I walk just because I entered a challenge. 

From where my feet are, walking has become a way to exist fully in the day and to remind myself that sometimes the answers are not meant to be found but to be lived. 

Why do you walk? Wrong answers only. Tell me in the comments.

  2. Or maybe you walk to be one step ahead of whatever you need to be one step ahead of๐Ÿ˜„...but I like "sometimes the answers are not meant to be found..." pure gold dust. If only we all stopped stressing about answers and just lived life.
