12 Days of Freedom

In time for the holiday festival is my 12th entry in my Numeric Series (this is a repost from my old website). Here is a variation on the 12 Days of Christmas song morphed into 12 Days of Freedom. Sing along!


On the first day of freedom my true self gave to me: a streak of being carefree.

On the second day of freedom my true self gave to me: strong wanderlust and a streak of being carefree.

On the third day of freedom my true self gave to me: great patience, strong wanderlust, and a streak of being carefree.

On the fourth day of freedom my true self gave to me: real view of the world, great patience, strong wanderlust, and a streak of being carefree.

On the fifth day of freedom my true self gave to me: a dash of bravery, real view of the world, great patience, strong wanderlust, and a streak of being carefree.

On the sixth day of freedom my true self gave to me: appetite for learning, a dash of bravery, real view of the world, great patience, strong wanderlust, and a streak of being carefree.

On the seventh day of freedom my true self gave to me: essentialism, appetite for learning, a dash of bravery, real view of the world, great patience, strong wanderlust, and a streak of being carefree.
