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 :
