Chasing Pavements

you should know you're just a temporary fix

Why is it the things you desire to be permanent aren't and those that aren't you wish they were? why must everything always be so backwards. things are never going to stop. even when your feet are both standing on solid ground, an earthquake will shake you free from your stability. you can run until you can't run anymore, chasing what it is you are searching for, but you will continue to run on the inevitable neverending pavement.

There's no dead end when it comes to choices. You may have to put things in reverse and backtrack, but there is never nowhere to go. Your options may not be as you desire, and perhaps A, B, and C all call for hardships, hurt feelings, amongst other things. but the hope is never lost. especially, when you remember that its your life your living. no one else. That hope...even when it's been buried for so long you forgot what it feels like. It will reappear. and, even though you know that it will almost 100 percent never happen, you can get lost in a dream when it was at one time, possible, plausible, and reachable. It may seem depressing to even get lost in that world, but, if you set your mind to it, you can make it your reality for a while. and the excitement builds up as you consider your possibilities. It is a temporary fix. one of the things you wish was permanent. but it's not.

But just because the chances of it never happening are high... there's always that glimmer of hope that something will go your way and you can take the opportunity you never thought you'd have again. the one you ignored when it was screaming in your face to take it.

When you get that second chance, don't make it a temporary reality. make it a neverending one.
