a free spirit

i think it means passion

freedom...lawlessness
the license to live fully
the licence to ill...whatever
a life without bounds, boundaries
no resistance, no stopping,
no fear...of consequences

i ignored the truth that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. you see, i thought if i was going to be a free spirit i couldn't be afraid, even with a holy fear. because fear would keep me from following some of my impulses, and i refused to be held in a box. a bird has got to fly! my definition of freedom actually crushed my spirit with its consequences. i was wounded, and bitterness and resentment crept in because i was no longer the person i had so wanted to be. i realized i had been deceived. devastation.
