# American Freedom **Published by:** [niftytime](https://paragraph.com/@niftytime/) **Published on:** 2024-06-10 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@niftytime/american-freedom ## Content There’s something about summer in the states that just feels like freedom. Maybe it’s the warmer weather. Maybe it’s the verdant and flourishing environs. Whatever the reason may be, to me at least, American Freedom peaks during the summer months. This past weekend in particular I was struck with a feeling of total freedom and the immense amount of golden opportunities available to citizens of this great country at any given time. I was so struck with this feeling that I started jotting down a running list of items and experiences I had this past weekend that embody and feel like American Freedom. Not sure why, but the list quickly became alliterative and S-based - or should I say S-tier - which I’m sharing below:Summer weekendsSardines + CiderShroomsSunset drives on SundaysSmashing Pumpkins “Here Is No Why” + 311 “Beautiful Disaster playing on loopShort Forest Park hikesSudden yard-workSuper market strollsSlices of key lime pieSubscribeCover image: “Subtle Dropoff” by Max Osiris ## Publication Information - [niftytime](https://paragraph.com/@niftytime/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@niftytime/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@niftytime): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/niftytime): Follow on Twitter
