{Freedom} Blogember | Day Four

Write for 5 minutes on Freedom....

free·dom

ˈfrēdəm/

noun

the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

When I think of freedom, I instantly think of traveling. It's not often in my daily life that I have felt a sense of freedom until fairly recently. But anytime I have had the opportunity to travel, I'm instantly renewed, refreshed, and reenergized by the freedom of traveling. 

Freedom is almost synonymous with movement: fast cars, migrating birds, wind – if it moves, it’s a metaphor for freedom. And so it goes that travel is also associated with freedom and its partner-in-crime, escape. - Lonely Planet.

One of my closest friends even told me recently "You have to travel to be whole." I laughed but it is oh so true. When I start feeling trapped or suffocated by the immediate demands of living life...I instantly want to take off on an adventure. I think part of that is me escaping my current reality and the other is that I just really feel at home out in the world. Truly. I love the excitement of a new adventure and an unknown destination. I am most alive when I travel. I am most free.
