I just saw a post in another place that read 'And the truth is: I pretend to be a cynic but I am really a dreamer who is terrified of wanting something I may never get.'

That hit too hard and too close to home. That was upsetting.

I regularly want things I may never get. Probably will never get. I'm 50 and still living with parents (although technically they are living in my house now rather than me living in theirsโ€ฆ) I'll probably be single forever. I'll probably never get round to making a lot of costumey stuff I've had in mind for literal decades now. Same for web services I want to build. I'm mostly resigned to it now, though. Maybe I'll get to some of these things someday. I don't know.
