What would you do with your freedom if it was given to you?

Would you talk long walks without looking at your watch?

Would you let your toes sink into the wet sand on the beach without reaching for your phone. Would take a photograph of freedom or happiness or joy to post online so that everyone could take notes and compare.

Do we want the freedom to spend, the freedom to buy the freedom to travel and eat and watch sunsets? The freedom to hold your hand as we walk down streets of white walls and gaze out over glass green oceans.

I crave the freedom to believe my worth isn’t determined by how many hours I work or what not so small part of myself I need to cut off so that I can prove to my neighbours that I am whole.

I don’t think we know what freedom is anymore.
