What does it mean when someone utters those words, "happy Independence day."
Naturally many interpretations can be accounted for. The first of which lives in the world of a "kind gesture" or "acknowledgement" of another.
I can't help but take a deeper look at the Independence of today and what it actually means with regard to societal standards.
Today I had the awesome privilege of doing what many Californians do who live near the coast, hang out at the beach. Fun in the sun is always enjoyable especially on such a glorious and freeing day. I came back with a sweet tan which in most peoples world means there summer is really off to a great start. However I also came back with the courage and passion to write what will be my own personal independence message to myself as a decoration to the world. So here goes! This is what I say is my own personal independence. I am not necessary encouraging others to follow suit but I don't think it would be a bad idea if you were to participate. After all its your life and your independence.
