To me feeling free means to not have anything holding you back or tying me down. To not be afraid and take big risks. Not letting myself hold me back.

I was unencumbered by work or family life and could basically do what I wanted for a whole month, go out when I wanted, have a beer when I wanted and not have to plan things days or weeks in advance.]]> 2022-07-13 21:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/j23nc9it8x8ovidy/wish/2242856724 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/j23nc9it8x8ovidy/wish/2242857027 To me being free, is doing things on your own account and not be limited to do certain things. Situation where I felt totally free is when I went away to college in a different state. I was on my own and had to make all the decisions in my life that my parents usually make. ]]> 2022-07-13 21:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/j23nc9it8x8ovidy/wish/2242857027 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/j23nc9it8x8ovidy/wish/2242857087 A few years ago I bought a one way ticket to Scotland and headed to Islay. I didn't have any responsibilities to worry about and  I didn't know when I'd leave. It was the first time that I didn't have a plan and I didn't care to make one up. It just felt like living. -Ever]]> 2022-07-13 21:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/j23nc9it8x8ovidy/wish/2242857087 Freedom https://padlet.com/delcalvo/j23nc9it8x8ovidy/wish/2242857129 Freedom means that you are able to make your own decisions as an individual, without pressure from others. Being free means that you can do whatever you want without fear of a consequence; even judgement from other people can be a consequence that inhibits people from truly being free. One time in which I felt truly free was a New Year's Eve that I spent by myself; I admit that this is a silly example but it was all I could think of. -Raymond]]> 2022-07-13 21:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/j23nc9it8x8ovidy/wish/2242857129 https://padlet.com/delcalvo/j23nc9it8x8ovidy/wish/2242857164 I feel free during my summer vacation since I have no responsibilities.]]> 2022-07-13 21:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/delcalvo/j23nc9it8x8ovidy/wish/2242857164
