Marty RubinWhat do we free spirits want? We just want to think our own thoughts and feel our own feelings. Why should that be a problem for anyone else?
About This Quote
The "free spirits" in the quote above are those who do not conform to society's expectations for what a woman or a man should be. In this case, "free spirits" is a reference to those who do not conform to the traditional roles that women and men were assigned at a very young age. The idealized role of a woman is to conform to society's expectations of her as a wife and mother, and the idealized role of a man is to be a good provider for his family. When we question the idea of having to fit into a certain mold, we often feel as though we are being selfish for not being able to fit well within the confines of society's expectations. However, it's important to remember that you have your own unique qualities and strengths that you could bring into the world.
These things are far more important than anything else. So, if it doesn't fit into society's mold for you or if it doesn't work within the constraints of societal norms, then let it go. The best way to live your life is exactly as you want it.
