Express Your Freedom
Don’t take it for granted
If you happen to live in a country where you are free, then you are in an incredibly privileged position, and one that you, personally, can’t take any credit for. You owe it to people’s actions many generations ago.
Freedom is the easiest thing to take for granted. Weirdly, that’s part of the point. People didn’t struggle decades ago for us all to be walking around constantly thinking about the fact we are free. They struggled so we could be free. Follow our dreams, ambitions and passions in safety — get the best out of ourselves and life.
So, the responsibility is not to think about being free, it is to appreciate it, experience it, make the most of it, and express it. If your body can move, move. If you can create, create. Learn, love, listen. Find your voice and use it.
