On Independence

Release me, for the fire beaming within me, is desperate to break these chains. Independence is freedom. The right to make my own path, write my own destiny, led by my own will. The right to break the barriers, destroy the challenges, to be let alone to face my own fears, win my own wars. Independence is freedom from undue interference, the right to have sole control over who can tell me what to do, what to think and how to act. Independence is having a voice in my own affairs, how my destiny is written, who is allowed to enter into my thoughts, my life. Independence dictates that I should be free from invasion, for anything that hampers my freedom, challenges my independence. Independence is like being let loose to fly in the cool wind, while you sweat from the heat of determination. Independence is pure fire!
