Five minutes after birth they assign you a name, gender and religion.
Nationality, race and other sectarian factors come into play by default.
And you live that way for (most of) the rest of your life.
Attempts to break free and cut your own path in life will be met with lots of resistance; even hostility in some parts of the world.
You cannot be born into a Muslim family and desire to be Christian later in life. No, that’s totally unacceptable.
How dare you fall in love with a person from a different culture, tribe, race or religion and expect everyone to be just okay with your choices? How?
How dare you feel like you were born into the wrong body? How dare you feel like your personality doesn’t match your gender? Lol
How can you just decide to become a DJ or a musician while literally everyone in your extended family is a doctor or a lawyer?
And you wonder why true freedom is rarely enjoyed and even when it does, it comes at a high cost.
And you wonder why every song out there has something to do with seeking freedom, love, etc.
Truth is, you have only you to set you free. Set yourself free. No one else can.
