The Long Walk

When I first moved into the city, I lived in an apartment that was very far from the subway. It took me almost 20 minutes just to reach the subway on foot. Thankfully the apartment was month-to-month, so not long after I that, found another apartment (my current one) that is much closer. Let’s just say if I try hard enough, I can practically spit to the subway. It’s super close.

Oddly enough, when getting out of the apartment in the morning, more often than not, I find myself walking past the closest subway stop, and take the subway from the next stop 11 blocks away. Apparently, I liked the exercise and the morning breeze.

I used to hate the long walk in the morning only because it was something that I was required to do. The illusion of choice made all the difference.
