"A person should be satisfied with a dream which is within one's reach. Because coveting a dream far away makes one only upset and heartbroken. Because empty passion leaves only heartache. That's why the stupidest thing in the world is unrequited love.

However, the reason that stupid unrequited love is worth giving a shot...
is because that passion sometimes creates a big miracle. Sometimes, the passion can go round and round, and at the end, achieve its goal. If it can't achieve the goal, passion gives you the chance to become happy being near to that dream.

Of course, such things really rarely happen. Unrequited love almost always fails. But because you're afraid of failure, and you're just worrying in advance what to do for a living without pursuing your passions, that's also a bit sad, isn't it? Rather than thinking only about what you can do, let's first think what you want to do. You have just one life."
