When does passion become obsession? And could an “obsession” simply be a genuine interest?
I don’t know, but I’ve been thinking about it.

When does passion become obsession? And could an “obsession” simply be a genuine interest?
I don’t know, but I’ve been thinking about it.
I find great joy in tinkering with my blog. Working on the Bearming theme, adding new content, experimenting with features. I love it.
From the outside, it might look like I’m obsessed with what I’m doing, but that’s not how it feels. I’m absorbed by it, yes, but in a very relaxed way. Almost like meditation.
I always have a myriad of ideas floating around in my head, but they don’t follow me into bed. And at work, those ideas never beg for attention.
Still, there’s this underlying notion of it being “too much”. Not that I feel it is too much, but that I should feel that it’s too much. Like that’s the norm.
And then I look at people who don’t really seem to have a passion for anything. They’re waving their “moderation is key” flag in one hand and scrolling on their phone with the other.
Is that considered healthier, watching yet another clip of someone reacting to another clip claiming “this video changed everything”, rather than writing a blog post or tweaking a theme?
I don’t know. But if that’s what moderation is about, I’ll stick to being obsessed.
