When I was in school I used to think that freedom must be all about fights with Britishers who had stolen our country and had taken us for granted on our own land and about our beloved Gandhiji...

When I entered high school I started to realize that freedom is not only that we study in academics, it's something we belong to, with basic human rights to raise our voice, to express thoughts, to make choices, and to be who I am! It's actually my well-shaped identity to myself, my introduction to me!! How beautiful the freedom is!! I was a teenager same like others who were singing loudly on bicycle on the way to school, who was now going alone because was mature enough that mom and dad didn't have to drop me at school, staring at flowers, making friends, getting attracted, finding crushes and blushings; I thought freedom is simply my rights for not being obliged to anything over my choice...

Now I was in college, fresh, young, ambitious, enthusiastic, and a simple girl like others who was telling herself that I'm mature now and wouldn't make mistakes, I would balance everything in life, love, study, relationship, family and will be the strongest personality! I was brave and free until I had to convince myself that my ideal relationship is not going to be recovered and it was the only wise option to move on; I was brave and free until I came to know that my so-called beasties are not giving a shit to me, ignoring me, started to hate me and it's only wise option to move on; I was brave and free until I faced the critics on my face about my new thinking for humanity beyond every labels of money, religion, looks, etc and I had to learn to be stronger and not to give 'em a shit, yes it's only wise option to move on...

Not always to move on from people but to move on from my old rotten beliefs, to move on from my inability to accept the truth, to move on from the chaos that doesn't let me listen to the melody that is softly awakening me from within!!

Freedom is not always about riding bikes at midnight to explore your gorgeous city alone; Freedom is not always about fighting for your ambitions; Freedom is not always about showing your bravery to the world that you can go beyond every height to make your dreams come true or to prove your truth...

Freedom is more about obligation than freedom itself!! After dealing with tremendous mental health I believe freedom is not only about believing that you are strong enough to do anything but also about accepting you could be weak also, you can't do such things, you can't always win, you can't always fly...

And the freedom as an obligation starts here, after all the failures you let yourself open up to the world again; you let yourself from being self-centered and stop showing how brave you are; you let yourself bravely accept yourself with all your traits more than so-called bravery stories; you let yourself to forgive yourself; you let yourself to be the human who is wise enough to help the rest of the suffering world...

I believe that's the true freedom to let yourself free from the selfish notion of freedom.
