Liberty, to me, means the ability to move freely – to travel to different countries, discover new cultures, and broaden one’s horizons. It also means letting your thoughts wander, speaking openly, and expressing what you truly believe – without fear, but also without hurting others.
However, with all its beauty, liberty is not without limits. It comes with rules and responsibilities. True liberty only works when we live it with consideration and accountability. It’s a balancing act – like holding a colorful bunch of balloons in the air: each one stands for something different – movement, opinion, consideration, responsibility. And only when they are in balance can we truly be free.
