Freedom!

Freedom is different for everyone. I want to be free. You want to be free. Guess what? Freedom is free! It just takes effort and understanding what freedom means to you. Does it mean letting go of all restrictions? Maybe just to have a moderate restraint? Perhaps, to be free, you need complete control of every action of yours. If it's something that must be contained, in order to be free of that unwanted characteristic one must control it with rules. If one cannot express himself because of restrictions laid upon his life style, he must let it go, so he can be free to be.

Freedom is different for everyone. To know what it is for you, it takes a many a try to discover how certain types of lifestyles work for you. Birds are free with the wind beneath their wings. Horses are free with running into the fields. Be free. It takes time and experience, but be free!

Not good enough, eh?

If potential is only what we could do and not what we actually do, why do people expect it? Can't it be enough to say you have done your best and finito? I had written a paper for my English professor and he was unsatisfied with my efforts. Although, he says, this paper is amazing and has talent splashed all over it like a fresh canvas painted with awesome colors, you still need to add more examples to make it more relate-able in our world. I can't believe after having written a six page essay (well five, actually), He wanted more? Potential, he says. This paper has potential to become something fantastic. What a thrill! Why can't the paper just stay talented in its own naked words. No clothing, or fixing, should be applied. Tell that to the ones in authority. Ha! See, that's the problem. We have little say in his decisions. The students must obey to receive that A in the class. Perfect. Now, we students, have become mere robots, not fighting for our simple talents. Leave it be! You wish.
