You have nothing to lose. Now what?
Some of you might remember Janice Joplin's, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose... " Whether or not you believe that statement, think for a bit... what if you'd lost everything? If you had no money in the bank, no job, and no prospects of bringing in any money soon, what would you do? Take a moment to really feel what that would be like, and then write a few words. Where would you go next? What would you do?
