I have come to a stage in my journey in which I am free to pursue whatever endeavour lifts my spirit, free of past imagined constraints and limitations. This approach had me feel lighter and ready to explore the unknown, to shed the shackles of my former life in favour of something altogether more satisfying. In truth, there are a million and one things I could do, so I will always have plenty of choice to entertain my curious heart: I could paint or pursue a life of healing; I could climb mountains or write novels; in fact, I can express my joy in life in any way I feel like.
We are all endlessly talented yet allow ourselves to be herded like cattle into rigid pens of existence that stifle our true potential in the false promise of security. I have ended my sentence in the social penitentiary, breaking free of my own accord when the burden of imprisonment almost crushed my aching heart to death.
Now I go about my life obviously and undeniably happy and free, observing those still struggling with their imprisonment, less than blissfully ignorant of what they are missing and I feel no condemnation, just sadness, for I know what is possible for each and every one of us outside the pen. To those who would look to me with plaintiff eyes, I say this: open your heart and make of yourself what you will from the bottom of your heart, for there is little other point to life. Start by making a commitment to freedom and then seek self awareness; through the challenges that will ensue will come personal growth, joy and inner peace that will astound you.
