Ever been to a phase in your life where you felt like you are in a cage? A feeling where freedom is nowhere within you?
Have you felt that even though you are free literally, deep inside you felt you are in bondage with life?
Yes, there are times when I felt that too. If I would be compared to some Jane sitting next to me, they would say I am a lucky gal — I have family and friends who love me, graduated from a good school, landed on a good job, and having a healthy and active body. With all these, I must be saying, “I couldn’t ask for more”, but why is it that deep down I feel empty, bondage to something I cannot seem to comprehend.
Is it because I happen to miss out something or someone in my life’s journey? I do not know too. Right at this moment, I am still in the process of journeying back in time using my mental state of time travel. I am trying to make sense as to why I am feeling this way when there should have been no reason to feel it.
Yes, it is indeed frustrating when you seem to try everything and still come out empty-handed. Yes, I want freedom. Freedom from this unseen bondage and from this incomprehensible feeling. Freedom from the emptiness that seems to suffocate me in no time.
Freedom is what I want, even though it may be elusive as an eel.
