This evening I went for a walk with my friend. We originally planned this walk on two weeks ago. I needed to cancel it because I sprained my right ankle in the morning of the day. I could have gone with her on the following Sunday from the injury day, but I didn’t take a challenge. Because, I knew she likes to walk for a long distance.
Since my right ankle completely healed, I thought I was ready to go with her today.
We walked 5 miles (8 km). It was a quite distance for me. I definitely cannot do it without having her. I appreciate her for guiding me this long distance walk.
We enjoyed getting to know each other while walking.
She mentioned about her boyfriend. They have been in the romantic relationship for years, but they never lived together nor talked about a marriage. He lives in a different state. They see each other once or twice a year.
It is understandable. She is slightly older than I. She wants to cherish her current boyfriend, rather than rushing into the further step.
I thought of myself. Now I am happily married and I cannot even think about having a romantic relationship with somebody new. One is enough for me, and I want to cherish what I have.
As we age, we start appreciating for the human relationship we have built since our younger years. Sometimes keeping the current situation is the best solution, instead of rushing into a new one.
