Freedom

Has anyone ever gone through YEARS of feeling internally inprisoned by your thoughts, fears, INSECURITIES, etc? If so, are you still going through it? Or did you finally free yourself?

Hard to put into words but I have felt like this for as long as I could remember and I see others who seem free. They seem free enough to be and do what they want. They know what they want, they know themselves, they follow their heart...they are simply themselves and don't apologize for it. I love that for them and wish I could get there someday.
