I long to be free, to give up my inhibitions and escape from the prison of concerning myself so much with what others think of me.

Can you relate to this feeling? It is likely that if you can relate, you are much more likely considering what someone else is thinking about than you are thinking about this desire, until you observe one of those magical creatures who seem to be totally free of self-consciousness. I imagine that it is a common desire to shed our insecurities and self-inflicted constraints. We keep ourselves from so much happiness and progression because we are thinking so much about how our appearance or actions are being perceived by another mind.

I don’t necessarily have a solution, but I have some photos. The humans that I have found who most commonly seem to be “free” are children and the elderly; so enjoy some photographs of people that seem unencumbered by self-consciousness and be inspired to do what feels right and makes you happy, regardless of what others think.
