You have to be content with a dream that’s close.
If you chase after one that’s far away, your heart will hurt and
your insides will burn. A futile passion only leaves heartache.
That’s why life’s stupidest thing is a one-sided love.

But the reason that stupid one-sided love is worth trying is…
that passion can sometimes make miracles happen…
sometimes go the long way around to help you fulfill a dream…
and even if it doesn’t allow you to realize that dream, it allows you to linger near it and find happiness.
