When I was younger I used to think that to be free is to do what I want when I want. But recently, I discovered that to truly be 'free' is to be liberated from people's words, actions and opinions. When deep in your heart you liberate yourself from others' perception of you and all the negativity that surrounds you, that's when you know you are completely and utterly free.

To be able to release this chain, you need time to discover who you are. Take time to know what's the dream you have been hiding from yourself out of fear,all the types of music you like listening to, your favorite book genre, where you like to walk at night. Go alone to the cinema and enjoy a film you have been waiting to watch, buy yourself your favorite flowers, discover new places and try new cuisines. Start making a bucket list and plan a trip to a place you have been dying to visit.

Explore who you are, what you like and dislike, form ideas, go out of your comfort zone and always be open to change. LIVE. That's how you start being free...
