I remember the day I knew what it was to be free. It was the same day I decided it didn’t matter what anyone else thought of me. So what if I’m weird and a little crazy? I like who I am and the direction I’m moving.

Interesting post. There was one point in time, when I thought I’d found freedom, but I lost it again.
I hope you have found it again.
Good for you. I don’t think many of us ever really find it.
I wish more of us would. Life is a lot more fun when we learn to let go.
You’re right, it really doesn’t matter what anyone thinks of our nature. When people tell me I’m a little strange, I usually say, “Really? Compared to who?” I think everyone’s a little strange, some are just better at hiding it. It just makes me laugh.
LOL! What a great response!
Totally agree. I can tell you the complete difference I feel from last year to now (though I wouldn’t be able to articulate it completely). The freedom I have with my time gives me the chance to be more of who I am. At least that’s what I tell myself
Thanks for sharing this… gave me a much needed new outlook on my own changes in life!
Summer is always when I feel the most at peace and free, so I know a little of how you must feel.
Weird & crazy? Nah, I think you are strong and confident.
Thanks! I learned that from you.
Awww, how sweet of you to say.
Free is always good just stay out of jail. hehehe
LOL!
Oh boy, don’t get me started on ‘freedom’.
Ha ha!
Love this! So true. And I’m in love with that Etsy quote/photo.
Isn’t it gorgeous! I have it on my wish list.
the two thoughts you had definitely go hand in hand, in my view — I can’t worry about what others think and truly be free. Very thought-provoking post!
Life is too short to worry about someone else’s opinion, right?
You gotta do what you love!
Bravo!
This is inspiring–a reminder that we don’t have to live life enslaved to what others think. I am happy that you have discovered your freedom, CB.
Yup, that’s a prison with no locks and there’s no way out unless you make the choice to leave.
Funny how, the older we get, the more we realize what is most important in our lives and learn that worrying about what others think of us is now far lower on our list of priorities, giving us the freedom to do things we’ve always wanted to do. I love your quote and that you’ve become free, too.
So, true. One of my deepest wishes is that everyone knows what it is to be free.
I think you may have just inspired a new post for me! It’s a beautiful thing to feel free. Especially if that freedom is to be yourself in every way possible. Very beautiful thing!
Yay! I can’t wait to read it.
