What Freedom Means to Me

I wonder what freedom means to me?

I think freedom means that I can be able to think for myself. Being able to think for myself will set me free. It also means that I can do what I want when I want. If I'm able to do that I’ve attacked life.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could grab life by the horns and ride that bull day and night? I’m like a panther every day attacking my fears and struggling with my brain and always thinking.

So that’s what freedom means to me and how I feel about it.
