Free People Read Freely Novels & Stories

Liberty POV Why do they keep calling us little one, it’s infuriating. Justice growls. It’s nice having someone to talk to. Justice is fierce, she tells me I’m strong, like her. She wants us to be free. Not kind of free I dream of, the kind that has the earth beneath our feet, nobody chasing us, living our life, far far away from here. Without justice I would never have gotten away from that place.

Henry David Thoreau, inCivil Disobedience, which we read around the same time, let himself be thrown in jail instead of paying some stupid taxes for some stupid preacher. But while he was in there, he said that because he was in there by his own choice, living under his own terms, he was really the free man, while everybody else was a prisoner. Like sure, I kept eating right, working out enough to keep the pounds where I wanted them, but now I was only doing that because I liked looking good for my own reasons. Then there's all these other girls chained to their treadmills and starving themselves so they'll fit in a dress or get asked out by some boy or whatever, and if they weren't so disgu

"Today marks a pivotal moment in the history of our kind. It is a day when the legends of our ancestors will become a reality, paving the way for not only our future generations but for generations yet unborn. Today... is the day we claim our freedom." Suddenly, a voice from the crowd interrupts the momentum of his speech, exclaiming, "Bullshit!" A wave of murmurs sweeps through the audience, and the man stands up, his stature imposing. He is a decorated officer, proudly adorned with numerous awards and honors displayed along his chest. Scars etched across his face hint at the battles he has fought. With a fierce gaze surveying the crowd, he boldly continues, "Freedom is a privilege granted

Neither side was entirely wrong. That was what made it difficult. Leah spoke late into the session. “We are tired,” she said plainly. “And tired people often choose relief over principle.” No one argued. Because everyone knew it was true. Then an older mechanic stood and said something that silenced the square. “Maybe freedom isn’t something we keep,” he said. “Maybe it’s something we keep re-choosing.” The words settled over the plaza like weather. Ethan felt something move in him at that. Not surprise.

"I didn't expect you to be so devoted. If that's the case, I'll grant you your wish." Even though he was reluctant, Theodore followed my decision. A few days later, Jessica was released from prison. Joseph embraced her tightly with tears in his eyes. "Jess, this time, we can finally be together. We can do it openly and freely." In the car, watching as the two of them embraced affectionately, Theodore glanced at me and asked, "Are you trying to be some benevolent saint?" I teased the baby in my arms as I smiled faintly. "Not really. I'm just curious whether they'll actually be happy now that they've gotten what they wanted."

"Even if I've ended up like this, you've already lost the purest years of Flora's love. Was it worth it?" I paused, then answered calmly, "Of course it was." "Shares, money, beautiful women... I can have as many of them as I want. I should be thanking you for making me get so many treasures in return," I said as Sean's eyes went wide. That night, just like in my last life, he jumped off a cliff. When the news reached me, I was in the middle of discussing the next round of funding for our overseas company with Wendy. I simply turned the page of the report and said very softly, "I see."

"Have you thought it through?" I pulled out the divorce papers and handed them to him. "Yes, I've thought it through. Please sign." When Chandler saw the word "divorce" on the papers, he froze. He moved his fingers slightly, looking agitated. "Are you serious?" "Do I look like I'm joking?" I stared straight into his eyes, showing no signs of backing down. Chandler softened his tone. "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have hidden this from you. "But Alina, you have to understand, I'm just a normal man. You've been abroad for so long, and I needed some release.

"No, thanks. You can save your charity for someone else." Eleanor burst into mocking laughter. "Stop pretending. You're just too proud for your own good—it's only going to make your life harder." Then, she began flaunting her achievements. "I'm a top fashion designer now—one of the rising stars in the industry. My future's bright, and I'll be rolling in money soon. All it takes is one word from me, and you'll never have to worry about food or clothing again. Feeding you would be no trouble at all."

--- Elena looked ahead. Not searching for certainty. --- Not needing it. --- Because certainty was never the goal. --- Choice was. --- And as they stepped forward together— As the new world opened without limits— As the past released its hold and the future remained unwritten— One final truth remained: --- Freedom is not the absence of control… --- It is the presence of choice.

“Freedom! Love is love! Let us love who we choose!” The voices grow louder, and the king rises, leading the group outside. There, they find a crowd gathered in the courtyard—men holding hands with men, women embracing women. The king raises his hands for silence, his voice carrying over the crowd. “Citizens, hear me. Your message is clear, and I have made my decision. From this day forward, love is free. No law shall stand in the way of your happiness. Love who you choose, and live as you wish!”
