Freedom. In every cell of my body, my entire being. Nothing made me realise it until the pandemic., but I really felt trapped when all the borders shut and our lives started being controlled to the nth degree. Then I realised that had always been part of me. I don't like being told what to do, or others defining me. Even in my relationship, I crave freedom, which I do get by spending time doing my own thing. Lucky I have found a man that supports that and doesnt feel jealous or resentful.
Nature is important to me as well. I struggle to understand how humanity doesn't value it as much as it should, as we are PART of this beautiful and intricate reality and what when we act in ways that harm nature, we harm ourselves. Every leaf, every bug, every waterway, every stone. It's all us.
Thirdly, though I expect my number three is part of my number 2 and number 1, is the ocean. Saltwater. Lifeblood. Womb. Mother. Dissipator of stress. Playground. Its the ocean i run to when I cannot bear life anymore, when I need flow, space, inspiration, restoration.
I feel I should say family, my husband etc, but that feels like a given!
Freedom is very big on my list. It is truly the life source of my existence. I would best describe it with the element of air. breathe in breathe out
Would love to go on a vacation sometime closer to waterbodies so I can wake up to a stunning view. It's added to my list
Wow! so inspiring, being free is superb🥰
The thing I was thinking when I read your response is that I think you got the right answer! @galenkp said there were no right or wrong answers, but I think this might be the exception.
Freedom. Nature. The ocean.
Yeah. What more could we want? It makes me want to drop my phone, run outside, and drive 1200km to the nearest ocean. I love the ocean. It's a horrible mistake that I live so far from it.
I read "Walden," by Thoreau, many years ago, and it convinced me that most people are not living their lives in ways that are conducive to lasting inner peace and joy.
What an amazing answer. Gold star! Lol.
Freedom, nature and ocean?
Seems pretty legit I'd say and I know you have some freedom on the way so the other two will no doubt occur more frequently. Counting days yet?
Yeah, I do this too. I don't get how a person can value sitting at a café in the city over a thermos flask and a sunset over the water, or some such moment.
Good answers and pretty much what I would have expected from you.
I hope you have a great weekend.
Nature is really good to us , the work of nature is more complex than we at times can it imagine, secondly, that is so good to hear, seeing someone who take you the way you are is a thing of joy, because he would always be by you no matter what, he will treasures and understands what you want and why you need it, letting you spelt out your roles, I give him❤️, nice one happy to hear this
The freedom you craved for is a concept. In this temporal life, we are all interdependent. You can be free only to a certain extend, within a small personal space. We all have to follow a certain set of rules. 😊
As true as it can be, it's so sad to agree with you that we all are surely interdependent in one way or the other follow a certain set of rules.... Too bad 🤦♀️
First of all, that picture of an ocean is so breathtaking... I had to pause for a while to fill my eyes with it and I love the feeling I got from it...
Freedom is worth craving for, just like being independent.... You get to do what you love at your own time and not being told to do so.
Nature is always at its best but we humans don't seem to appreciate it enough, I'm glad you're one of the nature lover 😊
After reading your comment, I moved straight to youtube, and listened this song.
Your comment has vibes of I want to break free..... God knows...I am in love with this song😂
Is this why you love the song?
Best ever, loud!
I like it how all of this speaks of freedom in each thing. I feel some connection with the ocean part as I was born near the sea and see it every time I go out. It's just such a wonderful thing to see. And I love going to the beach, even though I haven't done in a while.
Amazingly enough, this sounds like the start of a creation myth. Like the waters of the Anu and Apsu coming together.
I recall that you WERE trapped, in a hotel for a very long time, with 15 minutes a day of outdoors on the roof, just like a maximum security prison in the US.
When you kill a tree, you kill a man.
Any body of water works for me, even a tiny pond, but there is something about the immensity of an ocean...
Thank you for not writing about hot dogs.
"Ditto" @riverflows got down today, like a pressure release on the pressurized cooker pot...
