But relationships are bearing me down and dampening my spirit. Let me soar! Let me run free into the forest like a wild boar. It doesn't matter if I occasionally run into a massive trunk and injure myself because all that matters is that I'm living my life for myself now. The thought of being able to make a decision without having to consider anybody into the picture sounds soooooo delicious. I may sound selfish but I rather recognise it as yearning to explore freedom at its best. I'm young, vibrant, curious and healthy; so why can't I use this opportunity now to squeeze the juice of life that can quench my ever growing hunger?
So let me be......
Freedom does not only bring more responsibility, but it brings loneliness as well. As you slowly cut the strings that attach you to your weighty objects in life, you will slowly venture into the world of loneliness. Imagine that you are balloon being tied to metal weight. As someone cuts the strings, you slowly float into the bright blue sky. The colours of the sky and the picturesque view beneath you overwhelm you for awhile but as you float higher and higher into the sky, the land becomes a tiny dot and before you know it, you are surrounded by the deafening silence of the sky and the azure blue surrounding you echoes the loneliness in your heart. Freedom comes with a big price and my dear friend, you have to be prepared for it. Freedom in my point of view, comes with the assumptions of self-sufficiency.
You just have to decide how much freedom you would want in life and how much you are willing to pay for it. There is no concept such as a free lunch. Everything in life boils down to opportunity cost.
