What does freedom mean to you?
Great question! To me true freedom is a journey, a sequence of events sewn together with intention, purpose, openness and honesty. I see freedom as the inherent ability to exercise one’s sense of agency. However, it goes even deeper than that, it’s about having opportunity to form my ideas, opinions, ideals, morals, hopes, dislikes, passions, fears, choices and plans based on information, data, research and observations that are untainted by bias, malice or manipulation. Freedom is a bit like pinnochio – a puppet without strings. My thoughts and ideas being framed and contextualised by a compassionate and socially mature society. I see freedom as being able to live my truth, find my lane without being stuck or caught in the rut of others. Freedom is about understanding I am a separate entity, related, but not codependent on the lives, actions and choices of others.
