All the stuff you can’t wait to get away from, until it’s not there anymore, and then you miss it like crazy.

About This Quote

This quote by Andrew Solomon touches on the idea that our lives are full of things we can’t wait to get away from, until it isn’t there anymore, and then we miss them like crazy. In the same way, after a hard day at work or school, we can crave a certain food or activity, but after a while we find ourselves looking forward to the time when we don’t have to think about it any more.
