Personal Freedom

Freedom....

To be a person, to be my own person, not needing
to ask permission for having my own way of doing
things, and my own way of thinking.

To say what I want to say, and not have to mold it
into the pattern that you designate, or speak the
words that you allow me to speak.

To write what I feel inside, regardless of whether
or not you think it is correct, and whether or not
it matches your way of thinking.

To share what I write, anywhere I choose, regardless
of the fact that I didn’t ask your permission, and
I didn’t get your approval.

To have my own friends, my own life, without
having to ask anyone if I can, without having to
qualify who I choose to share my time with.

To be myself, and not always be wondering if the
person I am can be suffocated at any given moment,
and therefore I am on guard constantly.

To grow, to express my growth, to wallow in it,
and be proud of myself for my efforts, and not
have them swept under the rug as insignificant.

To create, to stretch my wings, and to try new
and exciting things, of my own choosing, and not
because you think it would benefit you somehow.

Freedom...

Just to be me...the most basic freedom in any
relationship. For if you have to shape yourself into
the person that your partner expects, than you have
lost your freedom, you have lost yourself. Let me
be myself. Give me the chance to fly my way,
and I will always return to my nest.

The greatest gift of love you can give, is that of
Freedom...
