Do you ever want to go for a walk? And just walk and walk and walk. With no destination in mind. You just walk until you are out of energy. Then you take a break. Getting up to go back to walking. Pick up an ice cream from Dairy Queen on the way. Maybe a coffee from Tim Hortons. Then you walk. Never turning around. Walking some times in quiet. Other times with your thoughts raging like a deadly storm. You just walk never looking back. Never going home.

I take a radio walk down the street and sit at the river on the rocks, if it hot I go in it, splash people say I’m sorry then splash them again, I bring a beverage, it’s fun to watch people having fun! There are boats ski doos, it’s a riot watching them, my favorite is the tubers, they tie like 15 tubes together with a ice chest and float down the river, usually they have blown up unicorns and things with them! https://youtu.be/tLWWgtWVFqs Bottom line I try not to do things that are sad, it doesn’t help with my depression.
Walking is itself a therapy. Everyday the weather permits I take a 10 to 15 minute walk. I use a walk path either near work or near home. Seeing greenery or hearing birds chorus is soothing.
The walks take me far from my troubles.
I used to do that a lot when I was in high school. Whenever I wasn’t feeling well, I would just leave in the middle of the day and go wherever the pavement took me. Just moving my legs forward while the cool air surrounded me. It always helped to a certain extent.
The kind of walk you’re talking about is rare but powerful. Truly never intending to go back. I did this once and ended up walking 30 miles, then when my feet were blistered I got on a bus with no destination. For a short while it felt good. But eventually we always come back.
walking is great exercise! the best thing that helps me in hard times is just trying to get out of my own head, my own thoughts and emotions. it can change your entire mood and perspective in a positive way before you even realize. im not too good at it yet, but i recommend this. the world and its problems are not going anywhere, so you have to take care of yourself!
I don’t really have a home. Some days I will spend all of it walking. I always thought maybe I’d just keep walking and not turn back. I’d hope to end up in a desert somewhere probably.
