Freedom can be defined differently by everyone. In a way, freedom is what makes you feel the most alive. Freedom is what you seek while living life, as a human being free makes you feel alive. Working countless hours isnt feeling alive, having to fight for your life isnt feeling alive. So go ahead, and find your freedom living and loving life.
