Free yet tied, yes we can be both. There are many a times when one tends to claim they have nothing that ties them down yet they are not free. By being free I do not refer to freedom from anything materialistic or tangible . I refer to intangible thoughts and a zillion intangible memories.
Claims of being free can be put to rest within seconds of the mind deciding to take a stroll down memory lane. Smiling, blushing, blooming, fragrant, joyous, alive to tearful, fading, withering, decaying, sad and dead emotions and memories reclaiming their position tends to leave one puzzled and pained rather than liberated.
Guess it’s a matter of time and struggle before freedom is attained. Till then what does one do with the memory flashbacks is still a mystery and something to be experimented upon. Of course freedom is not painless, it IS a painful affair after all. However, it does leave one exhausted…really!
Till next time, I will ensure I have a smile on my face, a Mona Lisa Smile…..happy or sad….that’s a perspective to ponder upon.
