As I start this race today, I Pledge that I will have faith, that I will believe. And One Day, I'll be The Best.

I never thought it would be Theodore Bagwell's words that I'll carry with me when the series ends, but here I am, ' a prisoner of my own freedom, caught in the captivity of negativity'. It really didn't mean much when I heard it the first time but it seems so apparent now. We keep telling ourselves that we are free, that no one controls us but our own self. But does it? Every time we run after freedom, it's exactly what we lose. Because we are controlled by it, by our own freedoms, by the fact that we can't sleep till we have it, and we can never have enough of it. And here we are then, prisoners of our own freedoms, enslaved by the very idea that is supposed to set us free. And we can't break out of it, because it's a part of who we are.
We're all the same, in pursuit of a freedom that we can never truly possess, and yet running after it, because that is what we were programmed to be. But it is the pursuit that makes it all worthwhile, not the end, but the means to it. Because we would be men of stone if we didn't fight for it, and it is the fight that makes us believe that we can reach it some day, and it's this fight that we call our life. We can't break out of our own lives, all we can do is fight, and never walk away because as Michael Scoffield says, "All we need, is to have a little faith."
