1 ) proverb
A person who wanders or travels often and at length will not be burdened by attachments such as friends, family, or possessions. Can be used as a negative ( to suggest that such a person won't find a fulfilling place in life ) or as a positive ( to suggest that they will have a more interesting and unpredictable life )
. E. g
👈I never knew my father very well. Apparently he got really restless after my sister was born, anxious not to be tied down to one place or job, so he just started moving around the country on his own. A rolling stone gathers no moss, as they say
👈I was just so eager to get out there and see the world, living in as many countries and trying as many new things as possible. A rolling stone gathers no moss, and I felt allergic to moss at the time
👈When I was younger, I lived quite a nomadic existence—my mantra might as well have been, "A rolling stone gathers no moss. " Now, though, I kind of wish I had a family of my own
