A walk?...anyone...?

Part one

I live in the city. A city like any others. People are busy. People have things to do, people to see...I like walking....Lol, does that make any sense? I'm not sure it was meant to. Just that I feel, in the city, people are sooo busy!!! Too busy to enjoy life. And if they walk, it's from point A to B. Everyone has a goal. Do I have one when I walk? Sure, I know where I'm going, but is it really my goal?

Nope, my goal is to enjoy the ride, observe, find some peace of mind. I like walking, I like thinking. I like to break free from my life that I consider busy. Is it really busy? How? What am I to do that can't wait, that's sooo important? My life, my well-being...

Besides that, I don't see anything else. So I'm not saying my life can wait but I don't wanna spend it in that constant urgent state too many people live in. I wanna be able to stop, take a deep breath and just live freely. Walk just 'cause I want to, my well-being tells me I need to slow down every once in a while. And when I need to slow down, I take a walk...

Now part two...

Like I stated before, I like walking. Do you know what reminds me anytime I live in a city and people are busy? Well their lack of respect for pedestrian would be a good example. Hell, how many times have I almost got hit by a car? Hard to keep track. Stop signs ignored, red lights ignored, excess speeding people just not paying ANY attention to what is surrounding them! HEY, I know you're in a hurry but do you mind not brushing my pants with your car!!!

Yeah, I'm a lil' pissed off. I have every right to be. People commit so many effractions...Man, I wish every pedestrian had the right to hand in tickets. All this just makes me want to stay home and take the bus. But I don't give up. And when I ride my bicycle...OMG, it's even more dangerous, all those doors, once again, drivers turning without warning and sooo much more...

Well they didn't get to me yet. And I know us, pedestrian, don't always respect the signalisation. One thing remains, when we don't, chances are we'll hurt ourselves, for the automobilists, when you don't, chances are, you'll hurt someone like me! So please be careful while driving!

And anyone who thinks they're too busy to take it slow and just enjoy a ride; take a vacation far away from the city. Once you get there, take a deep breath and start walking. ;)
