By now I’m sure you’ve all figured out that my mind just goes with things sometime. Hence this Blog which is full of thought out issues about NOTHING! Lol. On that note, what is the real between “Love” and “Obsession”? I’m sure for some of my friends that are out there reading this, we have had this conversation at least once before.
So I’ve come to the conclusion that the only difference between the two is mutuality. Let’s explore… ☺ Love is what? Love is a mutual strong, positive, warm, emotional attachment one has for the person who has a similar attachment to them during the same period. Right? Right. It’s doing all the little things that people do for themselves for someone else. Here this may help explain what I mean. For example; we all can get our own shoes from the closet or if we are having a meal and finish one thing before another we can get more ourselves. But love is when your significant other goes and gets your shoes from the closet because they know you are in a bit of a rush or if you are eating together and they see you have finished your drink they get up to get you a refreshed glass or more green beans… They say to love something is to labor for it. I suppose what I’m suggesting here is that the labor lies in the details, you know, the small things. So yeah that’s love, give and take. I love you and you love me back, right? Right…
Obsession however, a very critical and dangerous place to be, is only a hop-skip or a jump away. The line is so fine it’s hardly even there! It’s scary if you think about. Well, we have already established the defining character of love from obsession: mutuality. So naturally a non-mutual “loving” relationship is just the opposite. Obsession is when somebody loves you and, quite frankly, the feelings just aren’t mutual. The only thing that makes you think somebody loves you and isn’t just crazy is the fact that you would do the same for them or that you like it/them. Imagine somebody you can’t stand bringing you coffee to your door every morning. I mean EVERY morning, just day after day. Everyday you slam the door on them, and everyday they bring more coffee. With a huge grin to boot! That would just be scary, even a good reason to call the police, some might say, or at LEAST campus safety! But now, flip it. Lets say that the person that brings you coffee everyday is somebody you like. Whoa, now that changes the whole can-o-beans. Now it’s perceived as “endearing”, “Kind”, and “Thoughtful”. You think to yourself, “Awww, she’s been bringing me breakfast every morning. She hasn’t missed a day in 6 week! Aww how great...mushy mushy mushy…” but if the girl was ugly or her breath stunk it would be like “Damn, why is this crazy bitch still coming to my house EVERYDAY at 9:30 with these crusty ass English Muffins!”
Ok, so for those who are still with me… I say that to say this; why do we think these obsessed people can’t be just as good a companion as somebody “in love” I mean hell. I would even go as far as to say that an obsessed person might even make a BETTER mate. I mean you know they will always be there… always (lol), you know that they NEED you, you know that they are dedicated, and that they will stop at nothing to gain your trust, love, and approval. I mean hell, short of a pit-bull you’d be hard pressed to find such loyalty, LMAO! And this is DEF a two way thing… So Ms. “UB Feminist” and Sophia, you guys can chill! I’m acknowledging that guys are obsessive too, lol. Actually I would think guys are “obsessed” more than women. It’s the possessive nature. It has a tendency to take over… lol. Wait, that’s not funny, I’m talking about being stalked here. I take that lol back and would like to substitute it with a concerned and pointed silence ………………… concerned*……………………. Pointed*…………………………. Ok now we’re back.
So, in closing. Give that stalker behind the bush, or the man outside the 5th floor window, or the woman that’s been following you to work every day for the last 6 months a chance people. They might be just the one you were looking for but didn’t know it so that’s why they had to follow you around for 6 months and mail you pictures of themselves that they cut out and pasted onto pictures of you and your family on vacation which they had to break into your house to steal but they knew you wouldn’t mind because once you noticed them they would be able to explain why all of that was necessary in order for them to MAKE YOU LOVE THEM! LMAO!
Ok, I’m not really expecting to many comments on that one. But if you have an opinion please feel free! Oh, and by the way. Do NOT buy the iPhone black people. I know how we can get in this age of conspicuous consumption. But lets not fall into the trap that apple and ATT have so brilliantly set up for us to go buy shit we DON’T NEED! Plus it’s going to be full of glitches when it first comes out just like everything else Apple does. So if you MUST be “THAT nigga” please wait about six months.
