A little about freedom!

What does freedom mean to you?

I put myself on a diet and loose my freedom to eat!

I set up an alarm and loose the freedom to sleep, fearing the sound of the alarm.

I look myself in my closet and the mirror and feel none of my clothes suit me and loose the freedom to dress.

I imagine what others would think of me and loose the freedom to live!

These are just a few of the things that makes us loose the freedom we have when we are living a healthy lives. Imagine when we start getting old and start depending on people for our day to day needs! Our freedom to live independently slowly vanishes.

Enjoy the freedom you have today and make the best of it.

    This is a very honest and thought-provoking piece. What makes it powerful is how you take everyday routines—dieting, alarms, clothing, even self-image—and show how easily they can turn into small forms of pressure that quietly restrict our sense of freedom.

    There’s a strong emotional progression here: from personal discipline → to self-judgment → to fear of others’ opinions → and finally to a broader reflection on aging and dependence. That shift gives the writing depth and meaning beyond just daily habits.

      We really do not use the freedom we have! Have to change ourselves.

        Very true. Sometimes we don’t realize how much freedom we already have until life slowly begins to limit it. We get so caught up in routines, worries, and expectations that we forget to simply live freely and appreciate the present moment.

    This is such a powerful and honest reflection Ganga. You’ve captured how often we trade our own freedom—not because someone takes it, but because we hand it over to fear, routine, or others’ expectations. The most beautiful part is your reminder to notice and cherish the freedom we still have, right now, before age or circumstance changes it. Thank you for sharing this—it’s a gentle wake-up call to live more lightly and more bravely.

      We blame others for our freedom but most of it is within ourselves!

        Keeping oneself fit and active is the way to go. Our parents may not be too involved in life at this stage

    I believe that freedom is the thing that is hidden in us.We just have to let it out.But in this we are controlled by system rather than by us.We also know but we ignore it.And with the passage of time our life fades away
