So for my English class this year we have to write a entry paper on basicly anything really. I'm writing my on Obsessions. Here's the start of it. tell me what you think:
Lying in bed, it is 12:06AM, and what am I thinking about? Obsessions. Isn't it funny how the human mind works? For it to be so late at night, and for me to be thinking about obsessions? How does something become an obsession? I think that it starts off as a simple dream. How does a dream become an obesession? it turns into a want. That want then becomes something you NEED, you HAVE to have it. A passion grows like cancer off that need, therefore it becomes an ovession. I'm sure that some reading this dont fully understand what i'm saying...Lets see if i can make this easier...think of THAT car, the one you've wanted for as long as you can rememeber. Whether it be a Charger, Hemi, Mustang, Firebird, Thunderbird, Corvet, Eclipse, Accord, Maxima, or whatever it is you want. You dream of having that car. (the 'oh it would be so awesome if i had that car' factor) you then WANT it ('Daddy!!! pleeeeeease!!!!!!) then you decide you NEED it. You get a job, maybe you even get a 2nd job to get it fully loaded?? Passion sets in. You work the hardest you ever have. Overtime, nights, weekends, etc. You then have an obsession.
Are there 'bad' obsessions? and what about 'good' obsessions? Sure, everyone would agree that drugs and drinking are 'bad' obsessions. and maybe getting into college and getting straight A's are 'good' ovsessions. But what about what people would do to get what they obsess about? cheat, steal, become anti-social, etc. Is it then still a 'good' obsession? And who is to say what obsessions are 'good' and 'bad'? What about LOVE as an obsession? Love- it's unstable, but as an obsession? It can become deadly. To me, all obsessions are bad. They take you ove compleatly, whether you are aware or not. Sure, the dream part of it is harmless, even 'good'. As humans we all have obsessions- THAT car, that spot on the team, that pony, that guitar, that phone, etc. I even have them, i admit. I have the most dangerous of all- love. Can you be 'saved' per se, from an obsession? I believe so, if your not in too far, too deep. I believe there are different levels of absession, yes. Back to THAT car scenerio; level I of obsession: you work your butt off, maybe even kiss up to the boss?Level II of obsession: work overtime,nights, weekends, kiss up a whole lot more. You even start to ignore parts of your social and perosnal life. Level III: you get a 2nd job, maybe legal maybe not. Or whether you get the 2nd job or not, you steal, cheat, whatever it takes. Level VI? it becomes the death of you. Back to love, i believe it is a little different. Okay, maybe a whole lot different. Level I: crush Level II: boyfriend/girlfriend Level III: marriage and a full, loving life together. Why is love more deadly if all the steps are so pure, innocent even? One wrong step and worlds come crashing all around the two people involved. Hearts get broken. In every step, death's door is always open. Dont get me wrong, Love is a wonderful beautiful obsession. I know it all so well. But it is deadly, it's a dangerous obsession. But then again, when you really think about it, aren't all obsessoins deadly?
i know, some grammer maybe be wrong and all that fun stuff, please remember it's on the 1st draft!!! tell me what you think....please??
