Freedom
I have realised something which I already knew. I have discovered what I want most in this world and where my pursuit of absolute happiness will take me: Freedom. I will not be satisfied with my life, no matter what I have achieved, until I am free.
I would leave this place, change my name become someone else. I would steal what I need, stow away on ships, walk the land for miles. Nobody would catch me. They may have my face but not my name, I would not be in one place for longer than a day and my biggest crime would be theft, hardly something the police are willing to pursue me for. I could go where I want, do what I want, nobody will be able to stop me.
The downside to all of this is that I would have to leave behind my family. I don’t have the bravery, nor the strength to go alone. If I could, I would take Josh with me, but he thinks I am stupid for thinking such things. He doesn’t know how much this means to me. But I want for him to understand, I want him to want it too. But he has resigned himself to obeying the rules that have been put down. Following the guidelines we have been set. Doing what is expected.
I feel the prison bars of this tyranny we call politics, the tyranny we call normality. I feel the bars on my face, I feel the cold concrete walls constrict my movement, I hear the muffled sound of the world outside calling to me. I long for it. I wait for the day that I will be released and set free. The day that I can roam as I please.
I would leave behind all these material objects. They are not needed. They are here to make us feel comfortable, and to make our lives easier. I would take one thing with me. A diary, somewhere where I can record my epic journey and have it passed down to my children and theirs to inspire them to do what you want, to never give up, to follow your dreams and reach for the stars. To aim high and how nothing is out of reach. I would also collect one small object from each place I visit, something that is significant, either because of the culture there, or because of my story.
Maybe one day I will have the strength to go my own way, and to find my freedom. I feel though, that I need someone to unlock the door to my cell before I can be free. I will await that day.
Blessed Be
