azurelunatic | Happy declaration of freedom from original parent country; a few of my own declarations.

I wonder what I should declare myself free of today? That's another thing this day should be for. The US declared itself free of a country that was not listening to it and not supporting it properly, not giving it much of a voice in its own governing, among other sins.

For a true celebration of the spirit of the day, it should be a day for declaring oneself free from other things. For example...

I am endowed with the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. But how may I pursue happiness when the black cockroaches of depression shadow me, ready to swarm my mind at the least hint of weakness? It has fucked with my life, and with my relationships with other people, and with my schoolwork. I should rightfully be free of it. I'm going to be kicking some ass.

This is a good day for declaring things like that, I think...
