Free spirits are fine by me, I would prefer Irish whiskey or Southern comfort, but if its free then I aint really gonna complain what it is Partyman

On a more serious note, free spirit can mean so many different things to people. As an example, people might consider themselves a free spirit by avoiding getting a job not paying tax on anything, not having proper documents and no insurance ( I am talking about driving ) where as many other people would say that isn't being free spirited, it is just being criminal.

Interesting that WSS said about Tesco being closed on a Sunday and not having the freedom to shop when you want. But Tesco is so everywhere now and closing down smaller businesses who can't compete with a huge corp like Tesco, then the freedom lost is freedom of where you shop as well as when. Two different interpretations of freedoms, even if WSS was joking.

Is a free spirit is defined by convention as somebody who doesn't stick to traditional gender roles, stereotyping etc or is a free spirit somebody who fly's off the handle or drops everything on a whim without thinking of any consequence or repercussions? Any other loose definitions? Razz

How much convention are we all actually taking part in and how much of a free spirit are we really? That is what this topic has made me think about.

Try and find someone equally as open as you are and see if you can merge into similar things, imagine the possibilities of that relationship ! Very Happy

I totally agree with you on that one Stu and besides the perfect partner wouldn't want to change you, they'll accept you as you are and any changes you make, are because you wana change them for yourself not them.


Sometimes a bit of compromise can be good for self growth though? Certain selfish aspects of my personality have changed over time in my relationship with my girlfriend. I think behaviour or perception can be modified to accommodate, as long as it does not mean that one is always compromising your own self.
