The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd; the longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been;
I wanted sky. That was my ambition. And now I’m being tugged
Up a small steel mountain,
Finally I wasn’t just a rebellious bundle of hopes. I had some hard evidence to back me up. It was like a degree but quicker; like a job but more fun; like a boyfriend but forever.
And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that.
Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
