Taking a single step takes around 1 second for a low to medium speed walker, it would take a fit person around 12,825,101 steps, about same number of seconds. A whooping 3562 hours and or about 148 days, let us now consider this a 9-5 job where 2 hours are breaks within, that leaves you with only 6 hours walk day. It would literally take you 20 months to complete the walk, almost 2 years.

Now, let us factor in all the things that can stand in your way; the sweet rain, the heat, disease and injuries, wild animals especially snakes and spiders, humans with evil intentions, mental and emotional encounters. Those among more might cost you extra months if not a year. However, to complete the journey means to face them all.

I took a small walk yesterday, a close to an hour walk, a low risk one, I enjoyed the journey because I found the love in it.

In the midst of all the crisis, the fact that you are in love with the journey is the merriest way to go through with it, barely anything else will do.

Some walks will be tough, so will be some of your goals, as long as the obstacles do not erode your love for the journey, none of them will be bad enough to kill you or your goal, you will both arrive champions.

You will not be able to feel anything romantic when a pack of hyenas be coming at you like a plate of spicy beef steak, the love inside you will make fleeing or fight a success. On whatever walk, ride, freight or teleport you are on, keep going darling, you are not alone, there are swarms of romantics besides you and maybe one of them might find you or you might find them. Nothing will beat an extra serving of passion and zeal.

Happy Journey!
