A Story A Day. Story 275 of 365: Walk.

After a bad break-up, and in the middle of a quarter-life crisis, Lena decided to go away and find herself. Despite not being the sporty type and never having walked more than a couple of miles, she packed her new backpack and set off for the wilderness. Map in hand, she headed for the mountains, without a route, looking for the higher summits, challenging herself, pushing the limits. She would walk every day until she was too tired to continue, she slept until she had had enough, and ate whenever she was hungry. And she was happy with that life. At some point along the road, when she didn't know which day of the week it was and it didn't actually matter anymore, she realized she didn't need much to be happy, that she had been overcomplicating her life, and, knowing that, Lena could at last be fully happy.
