Nobody puts frames and traits for you. We ourselves set ourselves a framework that we are afraid to cross. And we set ourselves a line that we are also afraid to cross. There is no need to move the frames apart, as we will still be in the cage. You just need to break the framework and cross the line to feel free ...
I erected not just frames that limited me, but erected walls that completely fenced me off from the world around me. I felt stuffy and bad in this world. But, I held on as best I could. Hiding my self, I gradually got used to this state. And I didn't know how it happens when you completely freed yourself from the framework and crossed the line that fettered you. You couldn't express yourself, you couldn't be yourself. And you were not free, not only internally, but also externally.
To live not in a free country, constantly feeling a threat to your existence. Some of these threats took place to be real, and some were invented in your fevered brain. To break out of this vicious circle and break all foundations, I had to destroy what I had erected around me. To destroy the external circumstances that hindered me. Because I felt that I was plunging into a quagmire of madness that was happening in my country. Broke with the past and do not regret it. Having passed the tests, though not everything, I found my inner freedom. And this inner freedom is becoming stronger and stronger than external circumstances. I squeeze out of myself, drop by drop, a slave, which in fact I have never been. But it was imposed on me from the outside. Limiting the already existing space, which in fact no longer existed. Internally, I became free and this is what makes me happy. Yes, my friend helped me with whom I went through fire, water, and copper pipes. I found myself, and he became better. He's smarter and younger than me. But I do not feel like an elderly person against his background, but on the contrary, I feel that I have become younger.
The most important thing is that I stopped being afraid. And I can calmly express my thoughts and act as I see fit, and not as they impose on me.
