i love it. i absolutely love being independent.

do you know how it feels like right now? do you know how i see it?

it feels like an adrenaline rush, and it shoots the blood up to your head, and you get this giddy feeling. it feels like that every time you breathe, it’s like drinking in air, and you can actually fly. you feel invincible. it feels like you’re standing on the edge of the precipice, about to take that awesome plunge down, and when your body hits the cold ocean water, and it engulfs you, you feel that this, this is what you’re born to do. to live life without regrets. it gives you a taste, a taste of true freedom. and you want more. crave more. live for it.

i’m not scared anymore. i’m not afraid of getting hurt anymore. that’s because i’m happy, invincible. no one can touch me. no one can hurt me. ever.

my breathing is uneven, shaky, as i think about all the limitless possibilities of things i could do with my life now. travel around the world. unencumbered. reach for the heavens, and come down with more than just moon rocks or stardust. i can breathe again. i don’t have to give a damn about someone else. i don’t have to consider the effects of my decisions would have on other people. i don’t have to compromise my dreams, my ambitions, my personality.

i don’t have to give up on things that make me, me. and i’m ready to embrace that. embrace that notion, embrace all that life has to offer me. my birthright. ordained even before my conception, from the highest throne. i’m free. forever.
