Have you ever been obsessed?
Silly question, huh?
Well, I was just wondering if any of you has felt some strong desire for something,
or worst, someone…
Yeah, honestly I’m also obsessed with some things too like purple stuffs, Hello kitty collectibles and books but of course, I will never want to be obsessed with a SOMEONE ‘cause I think it’s weird.
These past few days, my friends were incessantly teasing me. They were telling me non-stop that I’m starting to obsess with ‘this someone” kasi raw my “kwentos” are always about “this someone”…
My reaction?
“?!”
Then, I came to ask myself:
“Am I really obsessed?’
(After an hour of thinking..)
I realized and I’m assured that I’m not obsessed.
I mean “this someone” always fascinates me, makes me laugh sooo hard and
even inspires me (in ways I don’t understand).
And because of that, I can’t help but make “this someone” the “bida” of my stories.
Being fascinated or amused with someone isn’t the same with obsession. And that’s true.
One time, while my friends and I were eating and chatting, one part of our conversation goes like this:
FRIEND1: “O, Jen, musta si ___________?”
ME: “ Naku, ayun, katuwa pa rin...”
FRIEND2: “Obsess ka na noh?”
ME: “Uy, hindi... Ano ba yang inisip niyo? Kasi naman hindi ako obsess! blah…blah..”
(Friends-shocked expressions)
FRIEND1: “Eto naman, Eh ‘di hindi na!!”
FRIEND2: “ Galit ka ‘ata?”
“Sorry na..”
Jen’s bubble thought: “Finally, I‘ve cleared it to them”
*For those of you who seem to have a difficult time figuring out if you’re obsessing with someone or not,
Try answering the following with a Yes or No.
1. You can’t stop thinking about the person.
2. You want to stop thinking about him/her but find it impossible.
3. You want to know everything about him/her.
4. You believe your life is meaningless without him/her in it.
5. You consider your feelings to be a problem.
*If you have answered 3 or more “Yes” to any of those, you might be obsessed.
But of course, it is still up to you to see if it’s really an obsession or not.
Ciao..
