What does this quote mean?

it's about people who travel and that with all the things that you do such as traveling for a job or even just to travel you actually may turn into something bad or good depending. It also has a subtext that time is ticking why spending it just traveling and loosing time. It is important because some travel and come home not like themselves at all. As much as I love going places I despise the awkward and tedious emotion, discomfort, and effort put into the entire ordeal. It is one thing if you are traveling to see family knowing that you are going to have fun and enjoy your time spending with them to the point you don't wanna leave. But if your visiting family or friends that makes the visit a hassle and seem more like a obligation and there is always at least one thing that ruins the time like a conflict you kind of don't feel like wasting the time and emotion. And to take time to travel for any reason when really you could spend it living makes you question what is important.
