Eventually, each morning I would stare at myself in the mirror and wonder why freedom felt so unbearable.
Right in the feels Mrs.Renegade. This post really touched me. I wonder why it is that we look around and see so many people chase paper notes and plastic, blinded by artificial "freedom". Am I the crazy one? I'm not - among Free-thinkers like you, I feel home.
Those feels! They get my every time too. I want to say, I am glad you connected with the article but glad seems like the wrong word. Perhaps, I am glad you connected with the second half; the awakening. The majority of people can make you question your crazy for not following the herd for sure. I try to remind myself that I didn't have an overnight epiphany, and that the transition to true free-thinking was gradual and will be a life-long journey. Thank goodness for growing communities like Steemit where we can continue to challenge conventional thinking and hopefully spur a bigger shift for those who are still chasing artificial dreams.
