It's the problem in seeing too much of the world. In loving too much of it. You can only live in one place at a time. And eventually, you pick your spot, and the memories of all the others just become ghosts.

Daniel Abraham
About This Quote

When you become a traveler, you realize that the world is so large and so beautiful. But, you quickly realize that you can't see everything. The world is so vast, and there are so many people in the world. And when you see so many things, it can be overwhelming.

You can love all of it or really love just a couple of places and enjoy them. For some people, they love one place and hate another. They love their city, but they hate the country where their family lives.

So they travel and see more of the world and then decide where to live for the rest of their lives.
