This morning on the way to work, I burst into song. Not just any song ... but the heretofore forbidden "Star Spangled Banner". I just felt like singing and I wanted to sing something challenging and it seemed like the perfect choice. I LOVED IT! I loved the way the words rolled around my mouth, I loved the ebb and tide of the melody and I loved that I nailed every single note. As I was singing, I felt truly free.
This experience made me start thinking about the small pleasures that I now enjoy that were previously forbidden, and I was wondering if others have experienced a similar freedom? What little things do you really enjoy that you never allowed yourself when you were a member of the borg? I'm not talking about the big stuff like oral copulation and Christmas (two of my favorite things ), but those little pleasures that you never would have thought of trying before. The ones that make you feel as if you are finally free.
