back to obsessions

when does a point of keen interest become a wild obsession?

when it begins to get unhealthy.

and i must be careful not to slip over that dangerous edge. i play dangerously. i go too close. but every now and then, i try pulling back just to make sure i can. if i can easily walk away from something, i'm safe to walk towards it. but what i don't play with is my objectivity. it would be utter foolishness to compromise on my most valuable asset. and i need that to guide me through a minefield of emotive issues.
