Freedom At Last

[Me Myself and I]

Have you ever experienced freedom? Are you free?

NO. Was my answer! How does it feel like to be free? Can you be free of yourself? ... I have always thought and believed that freedom was only a concept an idea, rather than a solid truth. A true feeling that a person in a way or another can actually experience.

Well ... Today I can guarantee you that freedom is not just a myth!! Freedom exsits!!

Have you ever experienced freedom? Are you free?

Yes I am ... I am finally free!!

The journey towards freedom was not easy at all, it took me a long long time to find it, to understand it, and to finally experience it and enjoy it.

The secret?? Is looking for freedom INSIDE OURSELVES and not Anywhere else.

Freedom comes from within, is some sort of a reward we get after learning to be in peace with ourselves, our life and everything around us. Accepting who we are, and taking life as it is are essential steps towards this journey.

Whether these steps are slow or fast is not really important, what's really improtant is the initiative!!

Our happines, our peace of mind and our life does not depend on people or things, it depends exclusively on us.

Nothing is impossible ... There is always hope ... I am saying it convinced. We are born to be strong enough to handle this life however it comes. We may have our ups and downs, but we will always find a way I PROMISE YOU.

I can never stress enough how CONVINCED I am of every single word I wrote and I am writing.

This is not just philosophical talk, these are words of a girl who once thought that her life's tunnel had no light at the end.

Today, my tunnel is bright, I can see the light, and I do not intend to go back to darkness.

Yes, you're right!

Freedom though is just like any other thing: it flows... and ebbs... back and forth.
But you can learn to acquire more and more of it, until it grows really strong, and comes back more often, more easily.

Freedom is in forgiveness. I used to think that forgiveness meant accepting somebodies behavior, but it isn't. Letting go is a gesture of love, in a way, gently allowing the bad stuff to float away. You "set it free". And in the process you set free yourself, which is another act of love.

Realizing that nobody except you is responsible for you is another thing that sets you free. In the beginning it's challenging. But as you are the only one, you are actually in complete control, once you choose to take it.

Great feeling isn't it? ;)

I agree with you 100 percent. Freedom exists. And you don't even need to walk out the door to find it. You are right. It is within ourselves. I believe all things are possible. I believe in freedom from all the terror that haunts us. It is a matter of "knowing it," walking in this feeling everyday.

I believe that, in faith, comes healing, a solace that we have all been longing for. I believe in miracles each and everyday. I believe we can become the walking miracle and break FREE from the ptsd chains that have bound us. Bless You for your post, Rising Sun.

I used to look at people and think it must be lovely to be free of any abuse torture and traumas and I'd often wish I was free. I used to think that it would b amazing if I never ever had that feeling of not being stalked harassed beaten and abused. Many years later I've realised I've got some of that feeling Eventhough it came at a very high price to my health. Yes I can walk down the road with that feeling of partial freedom but not sure for how long as my abusers live not too far, but then I'm a lot stronger and no longer afraid of them . And I thought I'd never have this feeling of not being scared of them , so yes I'm free from fear of my abusers but they left me in fear of many things. So am I free? I often question myself and as much as I'd like the answer to be yes it's always a NO, but one day god willing as I battle through my emdr and other treatments I will be free in all angles and experience that wonderful feeling of complete and utter freedom x bring it on!!!! I am cptsd sufferer and have been for years, I'm not ashamed nor have I got any reason to believe that I was wrong, and my abusers were right! They destroyed my life but not my soul , and they are total losers in my eyes, nd one day theyl get their comeuppance and then I will taste freedom and peace. X
