"freedom is the oxygen of the soul..."

some nites, like tonite, i really wish i lived in a flat with all my studenty friends. to always know there's someone there u can hang out with, and have fun, or have deep late night chats. to live in total community with others, and all ur differences and quirks and irritations! i know some people might end up frustratin you til u want to bang ur head off a wall, but i'd love to get to that point and be totally free to do that if i wanted to!
sometimes we live our lives far too embedded in society and their expectations of what is normal and defined as good behaviour. just now i'm reading 'veronica decides to die', (by paulo coelho), where veronica is discovering the world inside the psychiatric hospital is much more liberating and free than the outside world. because inside there is no discipline, and people can do as they please and blame it on being 'mad'. it's a great book of discovery, of the different 'you's' that exist underneath the 'you' you project; it presents the challenge of being completely yourself, no apologies or masks to hide behind. although some things in our natures need constrained, depending on how much hurt it could cause. because if we all just did exactly as we desired the world would be in an even worse state than it is now. or would it..? i guess it depends on what we really desired to do. hmmm....
