The True Meaning Of Freedom
Freedom is allowing yourself to be who you are without any restrictions.
It means showing the world your entire being without feeling the pressure of any expectations on you.
It means not allowing anyone to limit you in anything that you do, including yourself.
There is so much others expect of you and so much you expect of yourself.
There are so many standards to uphold, so many people to please, and such a big expectation on the life you should live that you try to meet every day.
You are supposed to lead a good life, with a great career, a happy family, a fulfilling day-to-day.
You are supposed to be active, fit, healthy, kind, committed, passionate, hard-working, driven, creative, motivated, caring, happy, successful, rich, charitable and loving.
And you have to be whatever everyone wants you to be, including yourself, at all times.
Freedom means abandoning all of that.
It means not needing to do any of the above, meeting any expectations or trying to be anyone at all.
For if you are free you do not fear.
Living a free life means being unrestricted, and putting the choice of who to be and what life to live in your hands.
