Free Soul: What’s in a Name?

Seriously, before, I don’t know the meaning of a “free soul.” Those words for me don’t exist, at least in a daily conversation. But one time, as I was watching a TV program (I can’t remember the show), a gay comedian was asked if he was not afraid of growing up, of not having a partner. Surprisingly, he said that he was not. He was not even thinking of finding a partner. He was happy on his own. And he exclaimed that gays are free souls, that they are meant to be alone, and that they are free to wander.

I couldn’t get it at first. I thought that there’s a soulmate for everyone, as Natasha Bedingfield said in her song “Soulmate.” That regardless of what and who you are, there is someone meant for you.

Or so I thought.

When you think of it, there are people who have partners, are married, and are single. Homosexual and heterosexual relationships are everywhere. Some single people are happily living. Some singles are actively looking for someone, some are not.

These made me think. Maybe the reason we are what we are right now is because of the choices we make in the past. Those people who have partners choose to have them. Some singles choose to be as such because they simply want it.

And for now, I choose to be a free soul.

Free to live, to wander, and to mingle.

Free to be me.

i so love your posts! i am amazed by how you're expressing yourself. you're coming out of yourself now, or should i say, you're getting in touch with your inner self. :) this is something worth noting. this is the first time i "heard" of free soul. anyhoo, it always starts with how you value yourself, with your state of being, with your wants and needs. always start from within. as they say, only us can complete ourselves. any other person or things, perhaps, can only add to whatever is already there. i like this: "free to be me." :) wonderful, indeed. kudos for a good start!:)
