How to say "free yourself" in Mandarin"? I'm going to do a tattoo, so I'd like to know how to write &quot;free yourself&quot; in mandarin; I'd like to write it in mandarin, first because I'm a mandarin student, so I'll know how to read it and also because I don't want that everybody knows what's written.
As a mandarin student, I know that the word for &quot;free&quot; is 释放 and for &quot;myself&quot; is 自己, however I'd like to know if the sentence meaning is correct:

释放自己

I'm not a prisoner, so the meaning of this &quot;free&quot; is to live your life, enjoy it, and so on; I want the word &quot;free&quot; just like in Avicii's song &quot;I could be the one&quot;. In a certain moment &quot;free yourself&quot; appears on the actress computer screen. The &quot;free yourself&quot; meaning that I want is the Avicii's song meaning, &quot;free yourself, live your life, etc,&quot; and not &quot;free yourself from a place because you're a prisoner, you're in jail...&quot;
Peace XD
You can use 釋放自己, It's OK. Similar: 釋放自我, 解放自己(我), 開放自己(我), etc...
You could use 釋放 based on context.

Release from Prison, you can use 釋放. e.g. 他剛從牢裡釋放出來。

Release the Pressure, you can also use 釋放. The Pressure could be mentally or mechanically(like tire pressure) e.g. 他用大吃大喝釋放工作壓力. 這輪胎必須釋放一點過高的胎壓.

Release something, e.g 這公司有新的工作機會釋放出來了. (This company has released new job opportunities.)
