Forrest Gump
So,my most favorite thing to do is to go for a long walk. I started when I was 14 to kind of escape my unstable home life. It was a great way to get away and release my stress. I would look through the windows of the houses as I would walk past and imagine what it must be like to be a part of that life. It is still a great way to get away, though now my life is much less stressful. I am reverted back to a child like state as soon as I step foot out of the door. I am still amazed at the beautiful world around me. The sounds,the smells,the trees,the feel of the breeze,the colors. I am humbled to find that I am just this tiny spec in this great big world. It is so freeing to me. You can physically go just about anywhere your two feet will take you. There are no bounderies. You can cross fields or hop fences. It is a great way for me to spend time alone with my thoughts and feelings. I get the chance to sort it all out on the pavement. I could SO be like Forrest Gump and walk around the country! I usually get so distracted that I end up walking much farther away from home than I had planned. So, I end up having to walk a lot farther to get back home. I’ll actually cause myself to get huge blisters on my heals from walking so much! It really is my favorite cardio exercise

I completely turn all my thoughts inward when I walk somewhere, very reflective time.
Just yesterday I walked through one of Florida’s common storms - brought my winbreaker with me so I didn’t get too wet. Cool experience.
