When are we a "Free Spirit"?

I ask this because I have been called a "Free Spirit"
by many people but THAT does not make me a Free Spirit.
Perhaps it is just outward confirmation of it.
I think that we are a Free Spirit when we are born
and we "learn" to shackle our soul,
align our thoughts and behavior to society
and LOSE the freedom that our spirit
had when it came into this controlling world.

To be a Free Spirit, is to rebel against our own desires
to belong,
to be liked,
loved and
wanted.
It is a desire that TO BE FREE is ALL that there is for us;
we will be FREE or dead.
