Obsession


 An odd day, an odd experience--a lesson to be learnt.

How extremely strange our human nature is—we never know how an other feels until we walk in an other`s moccasins—seeing the situation from both sides now. I know now how it feels to be almost stifled by romance, by possession, by passion–by words, behavior and actions. Rather uncomfortable situation, a bit terrifying and new for me. One can hardly breathe and one wants to run the other way, it is like an all consuming fire.  Extremely scary in a way for me—. Now I can understand when people get stalked in the name of love and they are frightened to death—it is not love but obsession.  Maybe initially it is simply infatuation running wild—if it continues then it becomes obsession, nothing healthy about it I am realizing.

The sad thing is either we are extremely passionate about an other, who is not about us—or they are extremely passionate about us and we are not. It is never really what we want—is it?

It is rather a good lesson for me to learn and experience—and be very careful. Balance is the key to everything I am learning through all this experience. Though I have to confess--all this attention is great for my ego--it is great for my self esteem and confidence.
