I have given this a lot of thought over the years I've seen people post this.
I have to disagree.
Sure, on a technicality we aren't free simply because we have laws to follow. But do we have to follow them? Nope we sure don't. We choose to follow them or not.
Same with social norms and rules. One is choosing to follow or not.
It has become somewhat apparent that those who believe freedom is an illusion are stuck in their own prison. Thinking they have no choice.
Choices between what might be considered a negative and another negative is still a choice!
I can say
there is freedom in thinking for oneself.
There is freedom in not giving a shit about others thinks
There is freedom in following one's own moral code
There is freedom in being authentic.
There is freedom in facing one's fears and doing it anyway.
There is freedom in listening to our own soul!!!!
Sure there might be consequences but they are worth it imo. Just because freedom comes at a price doesn't make it an illusion!
Rowdy wanted to play and Ronin was too busy sniffing and peeing on everything....
Not sure I want to share on fb. Lots of changes happening, some things in limbo. Been a roller coaster for a few weeks now.
Today was a magical day in the pasture! Rowdy was having the time of her life doing zoomies. Watching her race around, and tail flying, was pure joy.
Seeing her play reminds us of the simple pleasures in life. If you need a smile today, just picture her galloping, full of energy and spirit. 💖
Hi, I just rewrote my about page. Wrote it last week and lost it. 🙄

I'm looking forward to playing around in this space and getting to know you.
This is something I posted on FB and TikTok too. TikTok gave me a strike and I had to delete the post.
Used to be popes, kings, and mobs.
Now it’s bots, vague review teams, and a TOS longer than the Bible.
Got a strike for talking about pills. Not glamorizing. Not selling.
Just being real.
But apparently, real gets flagged.
Now, if I’d danced to a trending sound while doing lines and captioned it “Just girly things" ... probably would’ve gotten a brand deal.
But sit still and tell the truth? Censorship.
Shadowbanned.
Muted.
The system doesn’t hate danger.
It hates honesty that doesn’t entertain.
And I’m not here to make you comfortable.
I’m here to say what they hope stays quiet.
We are so conditioned not to see. We fill in blanks with familiar stories instead of confronting uncomfortable truths.

Yesterday I shot a stunner tucked away in the pines of Flagstaff... and OMG, this house? Straight up swoon worthy. 😍
From the warm modern exterior to the sky-high ceilings and that dreamy chef’s kitchen, it’s giving elegance meets forest sanctuary.
Scroll-stopping views out every window and a layout that flows like a mountain breeze.
Flagstaff, you really showed off with this one.
