The ideas
behind the concept of freedom can come in many shapes and sizes depending on
the individual at hand. Finding freedom in life can be difficult due to the fact
that freedom holds a close resemblance to a mystical creature; we've all been
told about it but we aren't sure whether or not it actually exists or if it is just simply a getaway idea in our minds. For me personally, the mystical creature of
freedom comes in the shape of a mermaid. Ever since I was a little girl I have always
loved mermaids; their elegance in the waters, their power and their beautiful
tails. In my mind they represent freedom because they have nothing to hold them
back, they have the vast waters of the ocean to explore and can use their
freedom of movement with ease as they don’t have to pay any travel expenses and
can just swim to their chosen destination.
Ever since
we were young we have been told that freedom is limited to those who are good
and that freedom is a ‘special treat’ to those that have earned it. However I believe
that this is not the case. I believe that within each individual there is the
power of freedom and that we just have to learn how to use it and how to keep
it under control.
Unfortunately
for some people in the world, the power of freedom has been taken over to the
dark side and people have been abusing their own power of freedom to decide who
can and who can’t have this wonderful thing. By taking away people’s rights
they are being reduced to literal nothingness – where something as magical as
freedom seems too far away to get back. Freedom is as special to some people as
material objects are to others, it has just got to be used properly and with
caution. Freedom is a magical thing that should be cared for and kept sacred
because without it we are nothing.
I’m not too
sure what made me post something like this but I just felt that it was too important
to me to not post this. I promise that I will post happier thoughts in the
future but for now, I just feel like I need to get this off my chest :)
