What is Freedom?

Freedom is something special.  It is hoping beyond hope, and loving when it’s hard.  Freedom is chasing your dreams, holding on tight, and never letting go.  Nobody can take you from you.  Freedom is love, for it soars over the wings of hate.  Freedom is belief, for it can take you anywhere.  It is worthwhile, and powerful, and something indescribable.  Freedom is a light, shining in a dark world.  Freedom is courage; the ability to stand up, but also to know when to sit down.  Freedom is finding your way, but stepping back enough to let others find theirs.  Freedom is magic in a world of disbelief.  Freedom is dreaming when others say no.  Freedom is not something physical, but something within the heart.  It is letting go of grudges, and deciding, ‘hey, I’m going to be the best I can be today’.  Freedom is change.  It is growth.  It is letting the world flow around you while you stand strong in your values and beliefs.  It is a smile when you are broken, hurting, and weak.  A hug when you need comfort.  Freedom is friendship and family; it is not the liberty bell that rings, but the hope that the bell brings.  It is deciding that no matter what someone does to you, it could never be as bad as what you could do to yourself.

Freedom is love.
