What it means to be free, in my experience, is that you have all the options on what you would like to do, unless you are hurting someone else. I say that because we usually don’t have an option to do what we would like to do.
This happened to me when I went on a jet ski. The first day, they said I drive too crazy. But, I did it a second day and I had fun because I had an option to do what I wanted and go at the pace that I would like to go.
I feel like being held in a captive place will make you dislike something, but getting out of being held to do a certain thing will make you feel like you are having more fun and you are doing way more, even though it is just a very small difference with a big impact.
When you look at my picture, I hope you see someone who is free, just moving and going how they would like to go.
