Obsession
Posted on MARCH 3, 2023 inMusic
Have you ever been obsessed with something?
So obsessed you spend sleepless nights pursuing a goal that all at once seems impossible and right in front of you at the same time. Sometimes you make progress, and sometimes just feel like you are part of the rat race, moving but nothing is happening. One puzzle seemingly unlocks the next but the next seemingly leads you back.
I have. I’ve been obsessed of late. I’ve been trying so hard to accomplish something, but it wasn’t going well. As I progressed I felt like I was getting farther away. Dark visions of hopelessness and death filled my mind. I thought “Why even bother with these silly pursuits”? Maybe God has abandoned us or maybe he is sadistically watching from afar. Maybe we are in a simulation and “God” is a 10 year old kid playing a video game. It all seems pretty pointless anyway; in the end we all die and are forgotten.
So I decided to put it aside. I took a nap. I took the dog out and touched some grass. Met some friends, joked around for a bit. Someone wise once said "The best kind of tomato is the one that's been kissed by the sun”
And what do you know, something happened! While my brain was resting my subconscious made a leap that wasn’t possible before. Now I’m not done yet, but I’m back making progress.
