so what do you do when you want something and know it is just too far out of your reach? is it time to move on, or should we just linger on the small hope that it may come back in the most perfect way? it seems ludicrous, but it begs to be questioned, does it need to hurt us before we can truly benefit from the gifts it gives? is it really too much when the idea makes you ill at ease rather than just tinged with a bit of pain? i think in life, everyone must go through the trials and tribulations of such an event to truly feel raw and exposed, if only for a small moment in time. it shows us how vulnerable we are to chances and how strong we can become from something new. our senses are heightened by smaller touches and our emotions are driven off course by simple phrases; that's when you know you've been affected...that's when you know you've completely gone over the edge, and the outcome is something that is completely irrevocable. it's amazing and it's awful, but it shows us we're alive and it shows us how reality can even give us a taste of what our fantasy has held for so long. it is a bit daunting to know that such a situation can become a stranger in such a small amount of time, but if it enters back in, even for a few seconds, it sends us back into that place where our world felt so right, even when hanging on its hinges. so why do these things happen? why do such events or situations occur that make you take everything you knew before and either find it mundane or force you to rethink everything. it's deciding on whether or not you should stay with what's smart or go for what's satisfying. saying it in such a statement makes it so clear, but really, the answer to it is much harder to find. we never know where we're going to end up, so satisfaction may only be temporary; furthermore, that smart idea may be utterly ridiculous given time. it's all to much to hash out and still, i'm intrigued to think about the idea. all we can do is sit down and look around and speak out about whatever we feel at the very moment before anything, or everything, escapes us.

can't turn back now
