Free to be Me

I have a song on my ipod by a Christian singer called Free to be Me sung by Fransesca Bettistelli. I love that song.

we must do what we want to do,however,there is a price to pay, sometimes we are called weird, or laughed at, or shunned because we choice to make our way in life and not be dictated by the latest fashions.

Hi averygirl, Yes, we should all be free to be ourselves. Wouldn't it be great if everyone thought that way? Blessings.

I am wondering how many people really gone to the salon having their hairs done actually look fresher than natural after the visit, because most of the time, they just looked so fake and stiff after each visit, a distance far away from being perfect. It is good to know you are free to be yourself without the need of hair salon to make you free.

I believe that everyone has the right to feel free to be themselves. Personally, I refuse to go by the standard norms of society. It's important for people to be able to express themselves in their own unique ways.

You don't exist if you don't have a Facebook account? Oh my! I'm glad I have one then so I can be assured that I DO exist. . Honestly, I'd rather be me than spend bookoos of money to try and impress people. I am who I am and if that makes me sociay unacceptable, it's not my problem. It's the ones who look down on me for being real who have the problem.

i find that too be cool, you have to have not only the latest gadget, but the latest fashion or the newest brand names but i choose not to. it is all about being happy with what you have and who you are that counts. if you worry about what people think of you, then you will never be happy. the key is not to care what others think about you and do your own thing and be your own person.

i felt unfree and crazy about what i strived after once in a while. but that's because i was tired, i need to have a rest for a moment. then i relaxed a coulpe of days.i just went out and did what really interested me (maybe it's not approved,anyway) . what i want to say is that you are what you are, and how's your life is absolutly up to you. you want to be free, do it; you want to fulfill your dreams,do it. there is no problem as long as you don't care indeed

I think there is a lot of emphasis on the way you, what type of house you own, the type of car you drive, clothes you wear, etc. I like to look nice and that helps everyone with their self esteem. But that doesn't mean I should go to the salon every week or go by the newest fashions every time something comes out.

To have the latest tools has nothing to do with being perfect. But I do think that society plus governement love to control people and do push them way too much into directions they don't like (also without knowing it). For example our government telling the people economics is not that bad.. this way forcing people to spend their savings on stuff they can't afford. Banks play that game too, incl. students so there are more and more debts and people, even whole families end up on the streets. I don't believe that not having the newest tools means you will be kicked out of society. I know plenty of people who are not willing to let themselves dragged into this, they have a lot of self esteem and everybody is respecting them. No matter if they are fancy dressed or whatever. They also don't need to make lame excuses why they are not buying the latest cellphone every 3 months or have a 3d-television or a new car every year. I think it all has to do with self esteem. If you don't need expensive tools to show off, if you are someone already (by behaviour and attitude) you are way more free as when you have to force yourself in all kind of directions to belong to the group. Ofcourse you can blame society, commercials, etc but in the end you are in charge. It's you who has to decide but also you who has to pay the bill!

Hey thanks a ton for posting such a nice discussion. Well u are absolutely right, in the wake of getting an identity and recognition among the crowd of millions, people are resorting to those things in the process of which they are loosing out their own self and identity. They do not believe that what they naturally is the one that can make them distinct and different from others. there is no need of any artificial means but the natural ones are the sufficient ones. What say?
