Why do so many give up real happiness just because it seems impossible to them?
Or is it just because the person is far away or some other reason prevents them from being together?

Does everyone choose to be with the one who is next to him, not thinking about whether he will be happy with him or not?
Although he has real feelings for a person who, for one reason, is far from him.
He himself is trying to wind up the idea that if he really had strong feelings for that very person, then they would certainly be together, but since they are not near, then they are not destined to be together. And he just finds something that is closer and tries to convince everyone, and most importantly, himself, that it will be better this way.

Distance does not play a big role in this, in fact, only desire plays the biggest role here. Since if there is a desire, then everything is possible, isn't it?
