"It takes getting everything you ever wanted and losing it to know what true freedom is."
I've been thinking about this quote a lot lately. It encompasses so many ideas for me from greed, consumerism to relationships. To not rely on anything or anyone in this world is a terrifying and yet exciting concept. I've been given a lot in my life, a lot of love and a lot of material goods. Should I need to I know I can call home and my parents are able to provide me with what I need. However, I have also lost a lot (no need to dive into this right now). Through supportive friends and my own personal will I believe knowing freedom is coming closer to being within my grasp.
It is this that motivated me to start a blog. While I have no expectation that anyone will actually read it, I believe part of having a free life is freeing your mind. I am an avid journal-er/writer and nothing helps me reflect more than writing how I feel and what I think.
The power of reflection is a constant in my life and too few people take time to sit back, without any distractions and reflect on their life, their choices and the world they live in. Reflection has saved me in many ways.
Freedom is a privilege. One not easily attained for many. I hope to truly hold tight and experience all that freedom can bring.
