We all take roads that lead to somewhere. Sometimes we get forks in the road, often change routes and we may even need help with the directions. There isn't a GPS in the world that can truly determine the path you seek or even go in on. What is the true path anyway? Honestly, there is no right or wrong answer cause none of us go on the same path. We may try to follow someone else's path because we were taught to do so in certain aspects but something always hits you with a roadblock. You were never meant to follow another person's journey.
Some seek power, some seek freedom, others get dragged down a road that leads to misery and pain but there is always a road that leads to somewhere. Personally, I believe in the road or path to freedom. Not the kind of freedom where you can just do whatever and get away with dumb shit. The type of freedom I seek and/or want others to seek is to have the freedom to make the choices meant for you and the pathways that get you there. It's not meant to be easy, it's not meant to be rushed but it is something that takes patience, pace and understanding unexpected things will occur whether you like it or not.
The freedom we seek can be different for everybody. Me, it's about training and the ideals that lead to the choices I make in my life like in relationships, seeking knowledge and being with people that matter to me. To me, that's true freedom. The road I've been on in my life was not an easy one, it wasn't meant to be. If it was, I wouldn't be who I am and wouldn't know how to fight for the things I had to overcome. I couldn't speak a full sentence that people can understand until I was 6 years old. Before that, yeah I knew what I was saying but it came out gibberish (almost literally) and going to therapy in order to learn my speech patterns and pronunciations. It was very hard and I could remember hating it and just wanting to be heard. That's just one of the things I've had to overcome next to many things.
Freedom is seeking your own path and working around the obstacles along the way. Sometimes, it'll feel endless, sometimes it feels like a cake walk, but one way or another, you will find things about yourself you didn't expect. That's just part of the adventure. It's a constant learning curve and at times you'll hit potholes or get stuck in the mud but if you learn how to get yourself out of those things and keep moving forward, even if its windy and has sharp turns, you will eventually get to a place you were meant to be at.
The world has many roads to choose from and you can pick routes to go on but eventually, the road will take on a life of its own and lead you down a path you were meant to be on. It's part of the concept of "Everything happens for a reason", you were meant to be on that road because that's where you find those tests of your mental fortitude. You may not have always chosen it, it chose you because there's something there you were meant to find and that is who you were truly meant to be.
Be amazingly awesome, be safe on your journey and hope your path leads you to the freedom you were seeking all along.
