To be my real self.

I want to live. The way I want to live. Not by anyone’s dictates. Other than mine. Guess that’s my idea of freedom. Please understand. I don’t just wanna follow my selfish whims. I’m obligated to be a decent fella. And not cause societal harm. Or harm to other individuals. But I want great latitude. Great flexibility. I want to be able to operate within large-ranging parameters. For instance, I want to be able to write and think about anything. No restrictions. Yes, I want freedom of expression. I want to be able to say what’s on my mind. And in my heart. Doesn’t mean that I have to get everything right. I’m allowed to be wrong. To make mistakes. To become a fool. Yes, to be my real self. –Jim Broede
