We have to admit, we all have an obsession over something.
Smeagle, in the movie Lord of the Rings, became obsessed with the ring that he found years before. Frodo, a young hobbit, was destined to destroy this ring in Mordor where it was created. Frodo and his pal Sam traveled to Mordor with Smeagle as their guide. Now, Smeagle had developed a spilt personality, Gollum. Gollum had the intention of taking the ring for "them" and killing Sam and Frodo on the journey. Smeagle swore up and down that he had no bad intentions, but secretly he did...or did he?
When have y'all ever obsessed over something so much you denied it all in the end?
I used to obsess over my grades and how they would affect my life. I would study somewhat and then be like, "Nope, I never study." That may sound completely lame as an obsession, but it was one nonetheless. I can't say that I am as bad as Smeagle, but I feel awful for telling that little white lie. I know, I'm pretty lame.:)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I used to obsess over my grades. Now I do not obsess over them, and when I start to feel nervous about it, I kind of resent it. It's kind of like I do not want to try as hard as I used to because I am afraid of becoming that compulsive person again.
ReplyDeleteI used to be obsessed with making myself feel like a failure. You know how everyone always says "you're such a fail" blah blah blah crap. Anyway, I used to always find a way to blame myself, and never others. It was one of the things that I needed to change about myself. Nothing is probably worse than a therapist telling you that you need to change your personality. (( but please don't feel sorry for me, after all it's just stating one of my flaws )).
