Are we Ever Really Free?

I believe that in life, there is more to it than meets the eye. And socially, I believe everyone is trying to be the same. And everyday people are ruled by their pathetic life's drama: media, parents, friends, political crap, etc.. I am one of those people who hates being bound or better yet, restrained from what I feel. Whether it be truth, clothes, my voice, or even who I am, or who i want to love. I hate being restrained and many people do as well. That is why I walk against the grain, from day one I chose my path rather than anyone else's. Are we free? We can truly never free, but individually we don't have to follow the desired path of everyone.
