Dilemmas

Life is never perfect. Asking for what you want always come in defected packages. The question is whether we can accept the pain that comes along with it. In this case, I don't know. I was lucky to have two gifts this year: One that I've always wanted and the other something that is good for me. And thats when the dilemma comes in; I fell in love with someone that doesnt quite love me back. And in turn, someone is willing to take a risk with me, but I dont feel the same. And so, we end up in a non-ending circle, chasing one another until we are too tired to follow. I am so tired, I wish I can just stop. But what should I do? Live in short term happiness or trust in what is safe?
