I'd say, good for you. And it's wonderful that you could do all the things in your last paragraph.
To me, freedom is one of the most important things that distinguishes us from animals. Why? Because we have the freedom of choice and they don't.
Animals are the slaves of their instincts and they can't choose otherwise.
But us human beings, we have the choice to be slaves or not to be slaves of our instincts. For example, my instinct might dictate to me to sleep all day and not to do anything productive. But I have the freedom of choice to listen to that or choose otherwise.
Good luck with all your plans 😊
