    Considering your present situation now, and without projecting to the future, do you feel that you are where you wanna be, and have no desperation to change at the moment and would not care if there's any change this year?

    Are you free because what you have, and where you are is where you wanna be?

    Or you are now only preparing for what you want, but it's still in the future?


    Or are you trapped and see no way out?

    I feel trapped at home, I want to get out, but I can't do that until I finish college so I can go away to university, or whatever! I actually want to drop out of college so I can get away early, but I figured if I drop out, I won't be able to go to university later, whether I want to or not...was I rambling? Sorry...but yeah, trapped!

    I like to walk around barefoot in my house, but I can only do that when my mum and step dad aren't in, cos they tell me off

    I have never felt trapped since no matter where I am or what station the lord puts me into, I know it's temporary, and I will be put into a brand new situation when the time comes.

    Of course I have to make that decision myself, but usually I opt for drastic change.

    i am a completely independant person. i do what i want when i want, i got nobody to answer to. but still i feel very very trapped. i want to move somewhere where nobody knows who the fuck i am and i can start over as someone else.

    i'm free and feel better than i have in a long time. i don't really have any obligations at this point. i'd like to travel. i'd like to somehow make a difference. the less i have, the better i feel.

    a little bit of column A & B. been through a lot lately where i felt like i was drowing ( to use an analogy) and recently i have come to the surface in search of freedom. i think i am almost there.

    I feel trapped....I love my family, but in the past we've moved around a bit, and I always enjoy being in a new place...but now the kids are both going to be in junior high...my son plays sports, my daughter's supposed to be a cheerleader next year...and I still want to go, but right now I'm the only one wanting this. I know this is just a season in my life, but I feel like I'm suffocating at times.

    My dream is to live in our camper on the road while homeschooling the kids. We used to homeschool, and I loved it, but I don't want them feeling like they're missing out.
    Someday I'll cherish these memories, so I'm just trying not to wish it all away. :)

    Peace and love,
    Bridgett

    i vote trapped just b/c i've been stagnating in my life. i've joined the cesspool of society and now i have to get myself back on track and figure things out. but its really hard and i don't really know what to do. thus the trapped feeling. i'll figure it out though. i hope.

    I'm officially stuck.

    I am so far from where I wanted to be right now... and it's to late for me. Plus, I have some things that I'm trapped in that I can't control.

    I dont think that being free is a matter of, if you dont need any change during the year. I think the nature of life, is that of motion and change.

    Where i wanna be is the now which is in nature FREE, and its everywhere at every moment. Wherever you are and whoever your with and whatever your doing i think is a result of your karma. Your circumstances are a projection of what your creating inside, Spiritually.

    Well, essentially, you could call me trapped - I'm still living at home and going to school and under the ruling of my parents, but I don't necessarily feel caged in. I have to follow their rules, but they're usually pretty easygoing.

    However, I can't exactly call myself 100% free either, but I'm probably more free than trapped at the moment.
