How free are you?

It's been a while...

Well, I got busy doing school stuffs. Yes, you read it right, I am back to school - post grad.studies. The admission process to my dream school (University of the Philippines - Diliman) took me almost four months. Yaiks! Imagine the stress but it's water under the bridge now and it's not really the reason why I am here.

The main reason is because anything I will going to say is too long for a Facebook status. Then, I don't have "not-so-smart-friends" there, only "not-on-my-level-of-understanding" kind of friends and I don't want any misunderstandings - of course I am just kidding! I filter my friends, if we are, then you made the cut.

Okay, here it goes....
Everyone wants to be free - easy to say. But are we really? How free is free? Is freedom gauge?
Financial freedom? Emotional? etc...

People will tell you to be yourself but will hate you if you speak your mind. Being free from what people think or say about you is my kind of freedom.  I don't want to change myself for the benefit of certain people. I don't want to be in a relationship where it impedes my freedom to be myself. I don't want people who tell me what to do, may it be good or bad for me. I don't want to feel imprisoned by someone's thoughts of who I'm really not. I am not in the business of denying the simple pleasure to be myself. Not everyone can agree with me but how free are you?
