1.) the fact or process of being set free from legal, social, or political restrictions; liberation.
2.) the freeing of someone from slavery.
As in: The excitement of the idea of freedom being almost more exciting than itself.
As in: Getting to stay home and know I\'ll never experience hands of rage touch my skin for thinks I didn\'t cause.
As in: Getting to be a normal teenager and experience normal life.
As in: Being able to love him freely without fear of being hurt for loving.
As in: Being free from abuse, and rape, and drugs and hurt....but at what cost
As in: never coming in contact with my mother or younger sisters because to them I was the wrong one.
As in: future generations being told lies and never knowing the truth...
in the end is it really freedom if my soul dwells on what will happen...?
Am I truly free from this spiritual tie I have to honor \"thy mother\"?
Emancipated but at the cost of guilt.
I know if I live and love for the rest of my life in guilt from what I can\'t control I never truly will be free.
And I\'ve come to realize that my actions only matter in the present, I can\'t change the past.
Emancipated- but to me it has a different definition.
Free of myself.
Free of guilt.
Free of pain.
Free of my mother.
Free of her abuse.
Free of her pain. Her guilt. Her pain- that she pushed onto my shoulders so hers wouldn\'t have to carry it.
Free.
