The possibility of disappointment, even failure, increases whenever I pursue impossibles. I shouldn’t have to remind myself to check for impossibility before starting a project, but I seem to almost always forget.

When there’s no there there, I’m not really gonna get anywhere, no matter how caring my intentions.
