Somebody Always Gets Hurt

I wish there was a way to open up your heart and know exactly what you wanted or that nobody could get hurt because they all wanted different things. It seems that life would be a lot easier if we didn't love some of the same things as someone else so that when it was taken, we weren't left a crumbled mess.  This imperfect sinful world is so hard sometimes.  It seems that only the things you really want or the things that send you on an amazing adrenaline rush are the hardest things to come by because obstacles like to camp out in front of your path towards getting them.  They are those things you imagine when you hear a song that maybe has nothing to do with it but somehow brings you back to that one thing or the place you see yourself living when all is said and done and you finally have enough money.  It is just all a big race for that thing and the question is - do we ever really get it?  You always see movies where the actor strives for something and then has a pivotal moment where they realize that they are tired and don't really need it anymore.  You may not feel anything similar to what I am explaining but I just feel like we shouldn't give up.  I feel like if you really really want something and your heart scrapes your chest every time you feel yourself receiving it or you sweat when you imagine resting in that persons arms that nothing should hinder your way.  Who cares about what people may think or what mess you may create- why is the concept of being mature and safe the reason to give up?  I am having a weird thinking day and ultimately feel as though I am not fighting for something I want- but the thing is - I don't even know what that is.
