I'm Free. I'm Human But I'm Comfortable with ME

Bless my situation, give me Freedom—Jhene Aiko.

I am truly at my peak of life when I chose to get away from it all. There is just something about separation from the normal trajectories of life that free my spirit and open my soul. I got into traveling not too long ago. I remember the year of 2016, I think I took a flight somewhere literally like every other month. I easily get so consumed in life and traveling allowed me to wake up. I think one way to describe me is using the word wanderer. I tend to daydream so much and go off into another moment in time in my life. (I’m thinking of something else right now.) But I noticed it started to happen more frequently and that caused me to become more curious and do things on impulse. I believe in a spirit of freeness. I believe we were all placed here to be curious beings. Curiousity teaches us things that normal routines can not. There is no formula of how to be free. My freeness comes from leaving my house for a few days, taking a road trip, sitting next to a stranger on a plane speaking to some stranger traveling for a different purpose. My freeness comes from observation in different cities, tasting different foods, walking different roads, breathing different air. I chose to live a life where I am able to openly express myself. Now don’t get me wrong. It took me a while to recognize what being free is. Unfortunately we will never be free from the normalities of life. We all wish to be debt free, stress free, free from work and school you name it. Those things will come with life and the paths we choose. But to be free in the mind, and spirit will take you to levels you’ve never experienced. What is free to you?

—Yours Purely
