Choice is so empowering and often a forgotten option.   We can choose to see the glass half full or half empty.  We can choose to fixate on bad things .  But we can also choose to let it go.  We can choose to seek joy and peace.  We can choose to forgive and forget.  We can choose to create our life and not let it just happen to us.   Pretty powerful, right?  That feels a lot like freedom to me!
