Finding freedom (Walter Süskindbrug at Amsterdam’s Amstel river)
Finding Freedom
Letting go is a necessary step towards achieving individual freedom. However, it often comes with a price. Finding genuine liberty demands releasing the burdens that trap you in outdated times.
While letting go can be a joyful experience, it can also be incredibly painful because, at times, you must mourn for what was once dear to your heart.
However, it is an essential component of the journey, enabling you to unearth your limits and define yourself as an individual. Because in the end, understanding and expressing yourself within your own boundaries is the ultimate freedom.
