About This Quote

The world is a wonderful place, but sometimes it is not enough. It can be lonely and boring, especially when you are stuck in a small town. At some point, even the most beautiful scenery can become a little bit boring. You may feel like you want to leave, but going is not the same as being left. That’s when you realize there is still a lot of life to live and a lot of happiness to experience.
