The one, who always admired the Power, no wonder will always be a devotee towards it's source. And may be that explains the reason why such a person would always been found as an admirer of women. The power that female holds not just in their beauty, which can never be matched by anything that the nature presented on this earth till date, but in their heart as well. The moments which many other would want to run away from, she choose to go on with it, fight with it and make the effort of turning the world upside down to survive it that too while keeping those around her happy. Holding all of it on her own, without even letting them know about the fights she had and many more that she is having at present while she is being cheesy and clingy, even acting childish at times just to tickle others with a smile. And so the admiration continues to grow. What happens next, when an admirer get too close to something that's powerful beyond his imagination for him to just be an admirer of...
So, as I was just scrolling through my Insta feed (follow me there :p). I read so many suggested Id's bio (it's there to be read, right ?) and I find out that there was something common in almost all of them.
Some wrote "I live the way I want" one other wrote "living dreams" one's bio went like "Strong and Independent" and this one is my favorite it went like, "Someone who dreams a lot and work hard to chase them. A flying bird." And she was not only the one that mentioned this flying thing. There were others who wrote like "free bird", "fly high" and all these kind of things. Now, you may ask, but Ishan, what's the relation between these insta bios and today's topic, The Freedom.
Well, there is definitely a relation between the two but before we go into that, let me tell you that this article is going to be a little different than others. Unlike other articles, this time I'll leave you with a question rather than a conclusion. And it's on you to answer in the comments.

Alright, now let's talk about those bio. See, when you read them, the sense that they all are giving is about being free, living on their own terms, doing what they love, or working on achieving something that they once wanted to do.
At the same time, when you listen the word "Sky". The image that pops up in your head is of a vast sky-blue color area filled with little white clouds in it, right ? And if you just look closely and pay attention to the detail, you might also see a few birds flying here and there. And how does a bird fly, freely, right ? A bird travels from one place to other without any boundation or restriction. And what's the word to define this action of a bird, freedom right ?
All of it implies that freedom is something that's very common and everyone wants to have. Something that we all chase or thrive for. And this brings me to the question, "What is freedom and how can we achieve it ?"
Does just following our dreams is freedom or doing what we love is freedom ? If you get the Job that you always wanted or made a great company that you dreamt of as a teenager, which is earning more than expected, is freedom ? Does just being financially independent make you free ? Just because you did something that you wanted, irrespective of what your parents, relatives and this society told you, is that freedom ? Are all these things, be it financially independent or doing what you love, chasing your dreams all of it. Do they give you freedom or they just bound you in an even smaller boundary than the one that you used to have ? Because, this is something that you chose and so you might not fail in it but now you are just bound to this one thing that you chose, aren't you ?
And now if I bring your attention back to second question i.e. "How can we achieve freedom ?" Can your emotions, feeling and thoughts also be completely free and independent. Because you are what you think you are, right ? And if not a big incident, your thoughts, feeling and emotions can easily be altered or influenced even just by simple words. Can you be really free without being free from your thoughts and emotions ? Moreover, the things that you have learned when you were a child, your beliefs, which are not even yours originally. You have those beliefs because of the society you live in, because that's what your family believed to be true and right, because of the people you met and the experiences you had. Can you be free from all of it ? And at last, the actions that you repeated enough that now they are your habbits, the fears, the insecurities can you be free from all of these things ever ??
"Can a person ever be so free that their own beliefs, their own thoughts stop stopping them. Or may be we just like the word freedom so much that we use it everywhere as it give a sense of change and betterment but in reality we all are just scared of being free and that's why we always try to stick to something. Be it a career, a hobby, a person, a fear, an action, the words, our behavior and so on."
Leaving it right here. Think about it. Discuss it with someone you feel will be interested in this topic. And let me know in the comments what you think. Thanks for investing so much time in my work. Really appreciate it. Take it lite and have a good one. :)
