Just under a year ago I (semi)-cryptically wrote this entry. I got a few silly comments from people who didn’t know what the eff I was talking about (all gone now since I stopped using HaloScan) and not even a single helpful one.
Anyway, what I was trying to say is that it’s so hard to figure out when to stop being obsessed with something. Or someone. How do people figure these things out? I certainly can’t. It could be something as simple as being worried about some old newspaper cuttings or book you’ve had for years. It could be the completely more complex thing as getting over a relationship (potential or real :p)
(To be honest, I still don’t expect great and terrible responses, but what the hey.. )
I am still clueless. Call me…
If I had the answer, I’d write a book, sell it for $24.99, and become a rich woman. Instinctually, I’d have to say that if you (or those around you) classify it as obsession, it’s probably not good. For me, “when” isn’t as difficult a question as “how.”
I was obsessed once. I thought my obsession gave me life. And sure enough, when my obsession ended, I felt emptier for it. For a while. And then I realized what many other things my brain could think about while unencumbered by obsession.
I still wonder today about all that energy I sank into it. But part of me remembers why.
I’m here to help you get over the obsession, if you want 🙂

There are two ways to get rid of an obsession:
1. Go away! Go away! Shades of Monty Python there.
2. Find another one.

P.S. Is this why you left Yumreeka?
