Wanderlust Cynic Quotes

“I’ve ruined myself for a normal life. I know that now. And I didn't do it with drugs, or a scandalous affair, but I’ve ruined myself the old-fashioned way: I packed my bags, left the house, got on a plane, and flew across an ocean.”
― Lokesh Tuli, Notes From Exile: The "Manual for the Broken”

“When you travel, You fall in love in fast-forward.
Because you know there is an expiration date. You know one of you has a flight on Tuesday.
It’s not romance. Don't kid yourself. It’s a desperation.
You’re alone in a city that doesn't speak your language. You find someone else who looks just as lost as you. You hold onto each other. You squeeze a lifetime into a weekend. You swear it means something.
Then the train comes. The bus leaves.
And you’re just left with a phone number you’ll never call and a spot in the bed that gets cold real fast.
It’s a cheap trick. But we fall for it every time.”
