Freedom entails having full rights over oneself; the feeling through which freedom is attained brings out an exponential change in you, making you feel better, which is why the prison was created to punish those who may have committed crimes or done anything dreadful to deprive them of the freedom to exhibit change whenever they have the opportunity to do the right thing. Most people may not be in a physical prison, where you are locked up in a particular location, yet they are imprisoned by one thing or another. It is either in marriage, at work, in friendship, or something else entirely. Looking at how hard it may seem to leave what is making you have that feeling of distress and lack of happiness, you may just decide to stay, hoping for the best.
That may be the idea that has worked for many, but in an intensive way of looking at it, there are better options that are far better than staying, and one of them is to quit. The word "quit" literally means to leave. I have been found in various areas where I quietly left to avoid unforeseeable circumstances. I know most of us need that moment in our lives; that is a great opportunity most of us may not have been blessed with.
I have had various opportunities, and I wouldn't say I did more of the quitting, but I know I did exercise my right as a citizen of my country and make the right decisions.
My experience with friends
I did have a lot of friends some years back, but some were so dear to me. Yes, I guess I misunderstood the whole friendship formula of not giving your best. I held my friends in such high esteem that it was hard for me to go a day without seeing them. Even though there were a lot of things I wouldn't want to do, I had to do them to be pleased with myself and to please them too. They also played their roles as my friends. Yet I never knew there was still room for an unnecessary fight. I thought they understood me, not knowing none of them did .
When the whole outburst happened, I got so depressed and didn't know how to handle it anymore. I never expected anything close to what they did from my friends, yet they disappointed me more than what I rated them for. We have been friends for years, and this particular thing can still happen. I guess I learned my life lesson here.
What did I do after the emotional outburst?
It was hard for me to deal with, so I had to quit the friendship.
That was not just because of that particular action, but I have seen signs of some funny attitude. which I knew...
- There was no trust,
- There was no love among us.
I couldn't live the life of a pretender, so I just had to be free with my conscience by quitting.
The effect it had on me
Initially, since I was used to the former way of life, it was hard for me to cope, but after some time I realized how free I was and did stuff my own way that affected my life positively. Having real friends is hard, which is why today I place all my friends at the same level. It's safe for me that way because it has kept me away from depressive moments.
