"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.” Chuck Palahniuk,Fight Club
This quotes is saying that is not until we truly lost everything we have until we are free. We have things to hold onto- to cherish. If we have things to take care of, we don't have room to mess around or do whatever we would like. But when things start to vanish, you will eventually be left with nothing. But maybe being left with nothing isn't so bad after all. If you have nothing to hold onto or to worry about, it means you could have a fresh start- a new beginning. You wouldn't have to worry anymore. There's a whole world ahead of you with many exciting opportunities. So maybe this is what Cassia needs--a fresh start to escape from the stress of her old life.
In the book Crossed by Ally Condie, Cassia has lost everything. She lost her family, her friends, her life back home, all so she could find the one she loves. She sets out on a journey to find the one she cares most about because in the beginning, she lost him to. By running away from her home, she is also running away from the society. For years the society has been planning everyone's lives. From when they wake up, from when they go to bed. Everything they do is controlled by the society. So when Cassia finally escapes from the society, it is like she is finally free. She may have lost everything she ever cared about but it meant her freedom. Cassia knew her life would be hard, but her freedom meant everything to her. Now Cassia could start a new life. She could forget about her past and start a new beginning with the one she cares most about.
