What Freedom Means to You?—And to Me?

How do we perceive freedom through the lens of our own consciousness? Does it truly matter? And is there more to being free than the state we find ourselves in right now? Let’s explore the layers of what freedom can mean; personally, collectively, and beyond.

FREEDOM

Such a big word. Do we really know what this means?
What does freedom mean to you? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Have you ever thought about how much space or limits, you have as an individual? Do you even know if you are imprisoned or free?

So many questions come to mind the moment this word pops up.
Is it when we can book a one-way ticket to Europe without minding the cost? Is it the ability to be who you are without thinking about what others might think of you? Or being able to express yourself and your emotions without guilt or shame? How about not attaching yourself to any labels and knowing you are enough?
What could it be? What does it really mean to you? Try to reflect on it.

Let me share a piece of my perspective. I’m not trying to impose anything here, whatever lands, I hope it helps, and if it doesn’t, then we just move on. The purpose of this creation is simply to share my complicated mind and creative side with you.

So, going back to the word freedom. What does it mean to me?

It speaks through my entire being, that sense of space and time.
That frequency that allows me to travel through different dimensions because I allow myself to be.
That feeling of being free to be who I am, free to express without blaming anything or anyone, just letting the energy flow so I can let it go.
That feeling of letting go of everything to keep my heart open, because no external label could ever define.

It’s living in alignment with my values without guilt, fear, or constant compromise.

It’s the space to just be.
To dance.
To sing my heart out.
To laugh so hard it comes from my soul.
To be beautiful, messy, quirky, funny, dumb, crazy, or weird. All those in-betweens that are free to come out.

It’s to love with all my heart without any restrictions or conditions.

It’s to just be entirely me and live, laugh, and love with all of my being.
This, to me, sounds like freedom.
