I have a passion to give.   A passion to inflict love onto others. A passion to become the best. However, as the time peels by, the passion churns into an obsession. An obligation. I must help others. I must love others. I must be the best. The time keeps ticking, and even though I’m barely keeping my head above these flood of emotions, I must be this ideal, “passionate” person. I’m failing. I can’t keep up. What have i become? These self-made obligations are killing me. I’ve become obsessed with giving so much of myself that i didn’t notice i was drowning. I don’t have the energy to keep going. But i must. How do you recover from giving so much of yourself, when you have nothing left to give? To others? To myself? This life of passion has made me hollow and i just want to feel again. No matter the cost, because i must.

Obligations
I have a passion to give.   A passion to inflict love onto others. A passion to become the best. However, as the time peels by, the passion churns into an obsession. An obligation. I must help others. I must love others. I must be the best. The time keeps ticking, and even though I’m barely keeping my head above these flood of emotions, I must be this ideal, “passionate” person. I’m failing. I can’t keep up. What have i become? These self-made obligations are killing me. I’ve become obsessed with giving so much of myself that i didn’t notice i was drowning. I don’t have the energy to keep going. But i must. How do you recover from giving so much of yourself, when you have nothing left to give? To others? To myself? This life of passion has made me hollow and i just want to feel again. No matter the cost, because i must.
