the girl
The name is Rachel. I'm sixteen years too old and from that wonderful filthy state of New York. I'm a scorpio, a vegetarian, and an animal rights activist. I love animals. I'm a stubborn female of mostly Irish and German descent. People make me physically ill. Trying to get me to change my mind is a pointless effort. I will debate you until your too tired to debate. Unless your a complete moron. In which case, I won't waste my time talking to you. I don't say anything unless I have something to say. Think about it.

Two posts in one day? Crazy.
Monday, October 1, 2007

I also had to do a definitive essay for writers workshop. So I wrote on the word "Freedom." I think this is a pretty bad essay for me but oh well, I'll post it anyways.

According to the Oxford dictionary, freedom is the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints. The same dictionary lists the four basic freedoms as being freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from fear, and freedom from want (hunger). However, I believe that it’s so much more than that.
Freedom to me is living without fear. Fear is only absent however when you have no hope and even then fear can still be present. What good is freedom though if you have no hope?
The only freedom that really matters is your inner freedom; if you are free inside. You can still be free even if you’re physically enslaved. Your mind is free to think what you want it too even if your body isn’t.
“Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose” were the famous words of Janis Joplin in her song “Me and Bobby McGee” and I tend to agree with her.
