restless soul
Never at peace
A restless soul is someone who can't settle into contentment—always searching, moving, questioning.
The phrase suggests an inner drive that prevents peace or satisfaction with ordinary life: He was a restless soul who never stayed in one place longer than a year.
It can be romantic or tragic depending on context, implying either adventurous spirit or inability to find fulfillment.
