ABOUT
This is about freedom over all.
I didn't take too long in life to understand the importance of freedom. Freedom to me comes even before happiness, though I believe one cannot be truly happy without being free.
In terms of priorities inner freedom comes before the external one. They are equaly important but inner freedom simply cannot be taken away from you under any circumstances. There are many imprisoned people walking free around the world just like some truly free people are imprisoned somehow in places or situations.
This is why inner freedom is the most special gift to me and I was particularly born familiar to it. My childhood was sustained by a harsh environment but also such a fertile soil to make freedom grow. I was loved unconditionally by those who raised me even though they were struggling themselves with their own traumas and had ended up neglecting me earlier than they should have.
Love is something that is never lost. I was once loved and it remained inside my being eternally like an everlasting flame reminding me I am free to be myself no matter what happened or what happens to me. I have rebelion running through my veins as much as I have devotion, just like savage wolves and wild mustangs do. We may lose ourselves in relationships, challenges and emotions as we grow but freedom is constantly pulling back each one of us to its arms just like a mother embracing her young child.
Even if you never felt loved, even if you are constantly afraid, even if you have been oppressed or tortured, you still belong to freedom and can eventually come back home to the arms of love.
Excerpt from Assays on Love, Truth and Freedom - Duda Le Fey
Let's just remember that nowadays it is fashion to be different and that being free is just being yourself. Nothing more nothing less. Free to be common, free to be simple, free to be extraordinary, free to be weird, free to be vulnerable, free to be loyal to who you truly are and what you really want. It holds the key of self love and realization of what you came to accomplish in this world. Everyone who respects humanity including themselves has the original right to be free.
With truth and love,
Duda.
I am an artist, a writer, a mother, a daughter, just a child and also an elder. But what I truly am is a simple person born with the gift of freedom. Never in my life was I the one following the crowd or even liking the conventional. In my path I got lost few times and like many people do, I turned my back to my own nature in order to survive my own feelings and the tragedies I had to face since the early days. It destroyed me but also made me who I am, made me overcome and change patterns from generations and in few years brought me a clarity and wisdom I would maybe take a lifetime to achieve.
As I grew up I walked a hard path called truth. I was different and never pretended not to be. I did not accept to follow the conveniences of society, made my choices out of love instead of power and refused to live a life of appearances. For all this I was highly judged and criticized. But most of all I was hated since always for being free.
One has to be free to be different and to stick to that while the world is constantly pressuring us to fit in. It is hard for some people to watch someone being free because it is so difficult for them to be so. It is hard to see someone not caring about giving any explanations when most people are constantly worried about others opinion and trying to prove themselves at all costs. Being free feels like an outrageous boldness to some even though we are in the 2020's already. But we have to remember that sometimes we hate what we tend to love and each one of us would love to be free, because this is the primary constitution of our being. So do not be offended if you are occasionally hated too.
*Different being understood as someone who naturally differs from the local or present stereotype of that particular time.
