We were all born free, free of worries and care; but as we become conscious of our being, we begin to makes boxes from our interactions and experiences. Every choice we make, every school of thought formed, ideals we adopt, friends we make are all boxes we have made. Some too small we would have to shrink to fit in, some too big and overwhelming; yet they are boxes still. The weights of being appreciated, the burden of being loved, the desire to belong and the endless longing to be heared, these are the boxes we have to accept or contend with.

We are queens and kings in our rights yet we are all slaves to something and there is not true freedom anywhere; we only freedom we have is the choice to pick our slave master.
