Jodi MeadowsI wanted freedom in the same way I wanted my next breath: an unspoken but constant desire.
About This Quote
The notion that freedom was an unspoken but constant desire in the back of one’s mind was not something that could be ignored. It was something that needed to be found and expressed. The idea of freedom is valuable, valuable enough to make you want it over and over again. After all the fighting, the suffering, and the despair; freedom is still what you want.
You fight for freedom because freedom means something to you. Freedom makes you want to live. Freedom makes you want to move forward even when you face struggles.
Freedom makes you want to be happy even when you are down and out. Freedom is something valuable enough to make you fight for it time after time after time.
