Freedom

We all loving doing things that make us feel free. Some feel free listening to music or doing something they love. Some do drugs, some just simply find a freeing feeling in someone they love. Being with someone can make you feel free, it's a great feeling. Doing drugs makes you feel free, it's great, but it is a different kind of free. I found my freedom in a boy who I thought I loved, and thought loved me back, but I was terribly wrong because he left me, so now I find my freedom in getting high until I can't think straight. I enjoy running from the pain, I always have and I always will. I'm running, because I crave freedom, it's like a drug. People say you get addicted to drugs because of the way they makes you feel, but I got addicted to the way he made me feel. He was a substance that I abused for months. The thought of him was always on my mind, he was in every thought no matter what. I thought NOTHING would ever replace that free feeling I thought he was giving me. a few months ago I'd do anything to make myself forget how he made me feel. I've always known you could become addicted to things like alcohol or drugs, but it never once crossed my mind that you could become addicted to a person. I've been sober and up until recently the thought of him made me tipsy, I was weak, there was nothing I could do. But slowly, very slowing, I'm becoming addicted to another someone, someone I've known forever, someone who I know with out a doubt, will stay no matter what. He is my new addiction, he's become my freedom. He is someone truly amazing. He is my happiness. I thank him for freeing me from the pain of the past. -Sincerely Khalia
