freedom is to be allowed to stumble, to get up and to move on, on your own.

To be able to breathe free, to e able to do all that u said, and so much more.

Freedom to me, summed up, is "being me"

Freedom is gorging on the entire pack of CHOCO PIE minus guilt pangs

Freedom is goring on cheese caramel popcorn immediately after your work out

Freedom is when you’re NOT answerable to your parents, when u don’t have to give them explanations/justifications for not attending a family function

Freedom is when you can bluntly say, “Listen asshole, don’t u understand I’m just not into you. To hell with with tht cup of coffee.”

Freedom is when u can turn down ppl, look them in the eye and say, “U know u really suck. It’s a torture to put up with your crap even for a few seconds. Plz buzz off.”

I think BLACK looks classy. So Freedom to me is picking up the same ghisa pita black print even if my cupboard is overflowing with blacks tees and everything black

Very nice post...
sometimes,
freedom (for others) means (self) sacrifice..
freedom (for the country) means putting others' interests before yours..
