There's nothing here to take for granted with each breath that we take

Why do we always want something we can't have?



Be it that silver Aldo heels that passed way beyond your budget, or that new i-phone your parents refuses to get for me, or even that guy that lives halfway across the world. You clearly know that you can't have any of those but yet, you still refuse to admit defeat.



Hey, it's all circumstantial right? Doesn't mean you can't have them now, means you can't have them at ll. Well, that's what i think anyway.



But really, why do we always want the things we can't have? Izzit the cheap thrill you get when you're chasing that something or someone? Or just that win all attitude that makes you not want to give up?



It's an age old thing, you know. It's just more fun to go for the impossible. Of course, it's a good thing that you don't give up easily, keep striving for the things you want but there's also a time when you need to see if it's all worth it. Will the chase pay off? Most of the time, it doesn't and that's reality.



Sometimes, you just need to know when to give up so you won't hurt yourself.



What if you know you have to give up, need to give up but you don't want to? You just refuse to give in and you keep trying because somewhere within you, you know that it's somehow a possibility that you will get that thing you're chasing for.



Honestly, to me, there's nothing that is impossible. It's just whether you think it's worth trying to get that thing or that person.



So, i think all this wanting what you can't have crap is just another way of trying to prove to yourself that you can get whatever you set your mind to.



The only downfall is that you don't seem to realize the things that is within your reach. The things that you can definitely get without having to compromise or hurt yourself. The things or person that is directly in your line of vision but you just ignore it because you think there's some things or someone better out there. Once again, reality is, maybe not.



I don't know really.



To me, i think it's just a matter of trying. Even though you know you can't have what you want, you just wanna give it a try. Even if i fail, I'll be proud of myself knowing that I've tried rather than just wonder about what could have been.



I think it's the same with life, in general. How can you tell if what you're doing, if what you've plan is the right thing? Exactly, you can't. And you won't know unless you've tried.



So why do people always want what they can't have? Because they know that there's a slight chance that they will get it.



So, don't give up. Try, chill, and have a little faith.
