"I feel trapped."

"How can you feel trapped? You're in the middle of the wide-open, you have everywhere to go."

"Maybe I'm not trapped but stuck. Stuck in one place by the impossibility of choice. I can go in infinite directions, but only one at a time. All the goals are so far off - yes I am so free that there is not a shelter or cage in sight. And I can only put one foot in front of the other, only one direction at a time, only one at a life. So no, I am not trapped. I am overwhelmingly free."
