    Many obsessions are not an obsession

    Posted on December 26, 2025December 26, 2025

    Being obsessed narrows the mind
    to a single path, thinned to bone by repetition.

    Many obsessions are not an obsession;
    they tug the mind in different directions, refusing to settle.

    What looks like restlessness is wider attention,
    a refusal to mistake narrowing for depth. šŸ
