“What Independence Means to Me?”
In this essay, I will give my insight on independence and what it means to me. I will start with how I see independence, then talk about what it means to me, and then talk about what independence seems to me. I shall conclude this essay with my final thoughts.
I see independence as a thing of freedom, a thing of liberty. The way I see independence is something that was fought for and earned by our ancestors. Independence is something that lets us have freedom in our respective countries. That is how I see independence.
What independence means to me is the right to that freedom, the right to be alone, and the right to help yourself. Independence means freedom to me, it means to be your own person, and to be free. Independence means to be free from the shackles of a higher power, free from the chains of dictatorship, free from the grasp of God; that is what independence means to me.
Independence is something to earn to me, something more like a reward, something to fight for. Independence first seemed to be a scam, but now I see independence as something bigger than I thought. Independence is something that must be taken and achieved.
To conclude my essay, my concluding thoughts on independence are that it should not be earned, or rewarded, it should be given. Independence is not a tool; it is a right. Independence is a way to take control of your life, to feel free from the world, so that is my outlook on independence. I hope whoever reads this will feel the same way.
