Just great. So many good ideas but I just love

“ what do you value more — your freedom or what you do with it?”

first I just gotta say that is a bit scary coming here knowing that you're actually gonna read this!

My favorite thing about your writing it's that is real and by that I mean that by reading it I can feel that it's just a normal person writing about her life. Thank you for opening up.

Loved reading this!

And to answer your q about what I value most, I have to say freedom over what I do with it. I personally “need” to have the possibility to run away or whatever at all times, but don’t think I ever would. It’s part of the reason why I never wanted children, bc you can’t just leave them. You can always quit a job, or whatever, but you can’t quit being a parent. And like I said, I don’t think I would ever leave my partner and my city, I just need to know that it’s a possibility, I need that kind of freedom.

yeah, i totally get that. i have it too -- and sometimes *do* want to escape my children, for as much as i love them and never would. its almost theyve become this anchor, a sure and finite thing about me that i can't change, even if i want to and actually, there's a weird sort of calm or relief in that. for me, at least! chalking it up to my moon in taurus (what?)

... and re freedom Q - for me - it's important to have it (i.e. to have freedom) - and above all else - the freedom to choose what i do with my freedom ... is the ultimate ... i.e. freedom to have family? have time for work ? build career ? travel/ where to travel ? in short - freedom to make my own choice - is the happy place for me ! :) xxx
