the thing about desire is that its not an unlimited resource–it comes and goes and that’s what makes desire so desireable. but what happens once you get what you’ve always wanted? all of a sudden, the thing loses value because it’s no longer unattainable and that’s why i think some dreams aren’t worth chasing, because they’re only beautiful in their unattainability. don’t bring them down here, to our painfully normal world but rather let them live as something more than just ordinary, let them be unreachable and therefore untainted by the mortality that defines us. some dreams aren’t worth chasing because they’ll do you more good out of reach than right in the palm of your hand.
