Freedom is release from longing and desire. I'm thinking that in a fully lived life, this release never truly happens; therefore, in a good life, there is never true freedom. Life is all about releasing yourself to its captive powers. Life is a prison, but not a bad one.

Is that it?

Good question. Let's think on that.
But about life, you know? Well, I think if you stop feeling desire or longing, then you've given up. Which isn't good. Hmh. I've always desired to write.. never even done so much as take a creative writing class, though. Nor English Lit, nothing. Nada. I'm in a space now where I feel like I'm scripting my life, so I am writing in a more, can I say, universal way.. I'm writing my own script, and it's really exciting. I've never felt this before, this personal power. I kind of understand where it's coming from, and I like it, the boat can't be rocked the wrong way, if the person who has control from a distance, if he hurts me, it might all crumble. So part of me has to always be aware, you know, that I can't allow others to have power over me. We have to have power over ourselves only, that's the only healthy thing.. and I guess we have to own our power too. Take responsibility for it, you know? I'm feeling like it's starting to happen, it's magical. Absolute, pure magic.
Ohh dear.
I wish I could appreciate myself this much all the time. Appreciate everybody, and everything.
Life is just the most exciting thing there is. And without our minds, our beautiful, magical brains, and the proper use of them, life's .. nothing. D'you ever wonder if everybody thinks the way you do? You know, d'you wonder about people's level of presence? We tend to call that "depth", someone is "deep" if they're fascinated and thinking .. but I think it might just be the ability to be in the moment. I like that. A lot. So if life's a prison, I kind of like it.

Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to redirect follow-ups not about relationships to Psycho-Babble Social. Here's a link:

Thanks,

And here I was, just getting right into it and forgetting which board I was on. Shame on me.
