Traveling with little to nothing

Today I'm going to talk about something different, I'm talking about traveling around the World/America for a year or so after high school.  It would be like running away from home, except with parental consent.   It sounds appealing to leave and have practically nothing except what you pack with you.  Its like hitting bottom, having no obligations, no one to tell you what to do, and nothing to hold you back.  Having a lot of stuff holds people back.  If you have a lot to lose then you are less likely to do something to jeopardize it, and thus you will will not be living life on the edge, you will be living life boringly, I'm not saying you won't be happy, and have fun.  If you have very little to lose, then you are more free to play life riskily because if you lose then you don't lose much.  So if you do go traveling with little to nothing right after high school, then you can always come back home with Mom and Dad after you do end up losing it all, so it's like a safe version of hitting bottom.  And thus concludes my little rant that I call a blog.
