Quoting LoveHippie:
Good Morning! ;)
I hope everyone here has a great day.
Today is a better day for me not because i'm drinking coffee or because the weather is perfect, today is a great day because for the first time in five years I feel FREE!
I will start by explaining the meaning behind most of my blogs including this one. "Love Is Freedom" or in Spanish "Amar es libertad" To me, Love is freedom means having and truly feeling the freedom to love whenever and whoever you choose. That includes yourself<3 Men don't really get this so on my other blog a few have asked me this---> So you're a free spirit? LOL!
My reply: I am. But that's not what "Love is freedom" means to me.
I would like to think that it means more than a simple expression of Love, happiness and freedom. Behind all of this is a small movement I started last year. It's a statement that empowers Women who have suffered domestic violence. It's an expression I use on my blogs every week so that my followers, mainly teens can know more about teen dating violence and how to get help if they're in an abusive relationship.
"Love is freedom" ... Love should be freedom! "If you have a bird and you love this bird but keep it inside a cage... Is this love?" Love should be happiness for both not just one. Love should be like the wind... Free. But most importantly it should respect your every thought... plan... decision... dream.
That's a little bit of what this means to me. And like I was saying at the beginning... Today is a great day,) for the first time in a long time I feel Free! Even though I moved on with my life, I did my best to stay strong.. deep inside I didn't feel like myself anymore. I wasn't free... I carried the past with me and it's a past I just couldn't let go of... I felt I didn't need support. I've always been strong but I have to recognize that I probably wouldn't feel this freedom today if I didn't have the emotional support I've had from family, friends and even strangers.
A few years ago I thought I wouldn't survive! I went through hell and back (domestic violence) but I did survive and I'm still here... I remember thinking.. if I survive It's for something bigger than this.. It's for a reason and that reason is to help others. I'm not an Activist because I went through this, I've always said what's on my mind and I've had friendships with the people society ignore... I've always believed it's possible to make a difference that's why I Blog, write, and speak for those who don't have a voice.
So now you know a little bit more about me.)
I promise I won't be writing sad depressing things all the time... I am still me and I'm not always sad lol I just felt like sharing this because it was a part of my life and in many ways it still is. I feel that it's important to share both the good and the bad not just a bunch of posts about quotes or political things even though I do enjoy posting a few of those on my blogs *Smiles*
So I will end this post by saying.. that even though it's still raining
"Today" I have a reason to smile ;)
