About This Quote

The idea of leaving your old life behind and starting anew is something that everyone dreams about. Some people leave their old lives behind because they are bored with the monotonous routine, while others view it as an opportunity to start fresh. However, when you are given the choice to start over in a new life, you are often faced with the question of whether you want to stay in the past or move into the future. Many people feel that their lives are complete when they have lived through all stages of life, but that only means that you only have one life to live. And, if you do not embrace it wholeheartedly, it will pass you by.
