So many lose the meaning of this world. Passion is oftenly mistaken for the fact that you are overcome by, obsessed with something or someone, that this is something that plagues your body, mind and soul all the time. Yes it is a fine line between passion and being obsessed and i think the one who is being talked about with the passion/obsession can be truly the only one to decide wether it be passion or an obsession with said subject. take for interest my love for Tegan and Sara, yes i am ready to shout out how amazing their music is, how much i want to see them in concert, am i ready to get their names tattooed across my forehead and confess an undying love for them? no. i am able to take a step back from them and say yeah they are amazing but they arent the world. See to me i have a passion for them, for the music they make, for the music they have made. It is in this society that we lose sight of passion, to be so overwhelmed with something amazing. we supress our true feelings for things for fear of being prosecuted for how we feel. There really is no point into this post except for me ranting about society. yet i think we have lost our way in our feeling........where everything is taken to the extremest point, to be affectionate is to be clingy, to tell someone you love them........is to want to move in and to marry them and have 2 kids, everything now days that we say think or do is taken to a point of extremities, that drives us to lose sight of who we are.....to lose the meaning of words, to lose our selves. and so i end this useless rambling with the definiton of obsessed




Obsessed :
adjective
1.
having or showing excessive or compulsive concern with something; "became more and more haunted by the stupid riddle"; "was absolutely obsessed with the girl"; "got no help from his wife who was preoccupied with the children"; "he was taken up in worry for the old woman" [syn: haunted]
2.
influenced or controlled by a powerful force such as a strong emotion; "by love possessed"

Three Simple Words

so anyways i was thinking the other day.why do we say i love you to people we really dont? i mean yeah we all come to love some one if we get to know them.....and i mean we all end up loving friends and stuff and we have a certain love for people we date as far as friends go...but why do we tell people we love them like THAT when the way we truly love them is as a friend? i mean im not saying you cant come to love them like THAT but why do we say it prematurely? why cant we find other ways to show how much we like that person? why do we have to autimatically assume that they want to ehar i love you...it makes thing more complicated then needed really.......i mean seriously why cant we just say man i really dig you or how about i really think your an amazing person....no we usually use those when we are going to break up with someone......as if the words i love you will make things all that much better when in truth it doesnt.....it plays with the emotions and feelings of people......why has this generation gotten so caught up in the words i love you.what makes them so special...why has this generation gotten so caught up in being with someone? no matter how horrible the raltionship is, how bad they are treated, or what kind of person the relationship has turned them into......why do we lose our selves in the three words that is makes us lose sight of who we are as people, why do we take things to the next level when things are fine where they ......why is it an urge to find a bf or gf, date them, move in, have your frights, and then break up in a weeks time? and this is all dependent on the word play we use in our relationship. So this is the whole point of this for me.....to be more thoughtful of my words in my future relationships...not to lead people on and to think of what will be the out come.......i love you should be something you feel you cant keep in....that its just bursting out of your pores, not something you think someone wants to hear...think before you speak
