This is poetry hun. It's personal truth not a universal one. There's nothing to agree or disagree on 😄 the experience I am writing about here is likely a totally different one from yours, maybe one you haven't had, so the freedom I am talking about will be a different freedom from the one you're talking about. It's personal, not an investigative article 👍🏼
I had to think about that. Not because I don't know what freedom means to me but rather because sometimes we have an idea that it's really clear on our mind but when you try to write it get's a little bit tricky to express fully.
Freedom feels is awareness to me. The freedom to be, do, feel, create, share with all the sensations, achievements, pain, glory, sadness, fun, letdowns, partings...
Being there to experience it fully, to be the one that chooses in every moment to do that and to be the one that feels it regardless of what feeling its happening at that time.
I really like where you have been going with your writing recently I know you said you were feeling a little blocked, and it seems like instead of stopping, you are digging deep inside of yourself and pulling out even more creativity. I admire your approach, and your own and the way you tell stories with your words. Keep going!
Thank you Stanley! As someone who has no direction with her writing I am grateful people can still relate and find something in it that makes them feel. Appreciate you ❤️
I’m not gonna lie. I think about this a lot. I don’t want to be completely free. I need to be in a community of people that love me. I need to start with some safe places. As I begin my life again as a divorced woman, I’m thinking about, the importance of family, tradition, ritual, and having two or three people that are invested in me, and in whom I’m already invested. I know I don’t wanna start over again from scratch.
Same! I think about this every day!!! Total freedom doesn't work if you want to live in Community if you want to care about others and others to care about you - it means your freedom will be inconvenienced.
“Can you break your own heart? Can you overturn everything you believed to be real? You want to speak your truth.”
Wow. This one is so small but every word packs a punch. It’s like the format and the length are in service of the idea too. I’m always left deep in thought when I read your words, Nadia.
Thank you for your warm words and support Noha. I am baffled and humbled that when I write out of a foggy place, people still seem to relate and understand. So grateful ❤️
Shheeesh. Brilliant and resonant. And I really appreciate reading these responses/comments, getting to witness that there’s a collective probing of what we desire and is it really freedom.
This is heavy. I have been questioning lately whether I really want the freedom that I so often fantasize about.
I hear you. Deeply. Sending love to your answer-seeking heart.

Sei una poetessa
Grazie cara xx
Does freedom has to feel as a burden? I tend to disagree even tho I see where you are coming from.

I apologize if my comment felt rude or judgmental. It wasn't my intention but I can see the way I worded it was easy to see it that way.
Thanks for sharing your writing
All good! Thank you for reading I appreciate you. And I'd be interested in reading your own take on freedom!

It seems like you’re pretty clear on what you’re doing. You’re going where your heart and your own take you. I wouldn’t call that “no direction”
😭🫶🏽
I have no words except to say thank you Nadia ❤️
Thank you are beautiful words. Appreciate you loads Joel 🫶🏽
Gorgeous as ALWAYS, Nadia! I admire your work for it's honesty and dare I say, playful approach 💜 Always leaves me tinkering in my thoughts

Never gonna be able to look out the window of a plane the same again…
Oh I hope I didn't ruin clouds for you!
Oh no! It only made them more poetic

Like a cloud, freedom can get too murky and expansive. Obscuring your views so much you get lost in it, wrapped in it, trapped in it...
It can sometimes. I have come to learn that. Hopefully not too late.

Wow...deep and beautiful. Speechless. 👌🏻❤️
Thank you so much for being here and sharing this space with me!
My deepest desire that I am the most terrified of
I feel that. ❤️

The comments are so rich, aren't they! I am grateful you found your way here, thank you for leaving a lovenote ❤️
Amazing piece! It reminded me of something...
If we're so free, why don't we become the best, most productive citizens we can be? If you don't try you're just lazy. That's the expectation.
This idea of freedom is actually a great way to make people conform, paradoxally chaining our minds by making us punish ourselves.
Clouds think they are free until they grow heavy and fall from the sky.
☁️🌬️🎠☁️ Thank you for this one, Nadia.
My pleasure ❤️
