Freedom, More of a State of Mind...

Today is a non-working Saturday, being a 2nd weekend.

Usually it would mean that I would be away from the keyboard till the next working day, since I do not fancy being hooked onto anything, except my mobile phone, till then.

Like many others, I'd love to have the ocassional peace & quiet.
But does that mean I am free to do anything I want or go anywhere I like or meet whomever I choose to?

Commitments here & responsibilities there dictate my choices.
So much so that they appear to strangle the very liberty of my being.

I don't seem to be able to do what I really want, go where I'd really want to go or enjoy meeting anyone whom I choose.
Not without paying a certain price.

Just the very motion that I can do certain things without having to worry about repercussions seem so alien to me, conscious or sub-consciously.

I may appear to be one that exudes many qualities & have been described many others as well...

But somehow, freedom eludes me.

I need my space, I want my share of the air, I feel exhausted & I know I am choking...
And I know, it's not a luxury of choice.

What say you?
