Independent Much?

Being able to speak and express ideas is often a sign of being an independent human bean. I believe if you can speak your mind and express your ideas you are a independent person. You clearly don't need someone to help you speak or say what you think. When people see that you express yourself and speak your mind, they say "Hey shes an independent person". A person that states their opinion and doesn't care what people think has that strong character. They think in a manner that is " I will speak my mind and do not care what anyone has to say". They show that they are independent in every form. Speaking and expressing your ideas is a clear sign of an independent person.
