addiction.

Addiction - being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming (especially alcohol or narcotic drugs)

Some people have them. Good addictions. Bad addictions. Chocoholics, workaholics and people who are addicted to drugs. Or maybe, you're just addicted to the one song, the one person, the one thing in your life that can give you that fixation, the relief, that hit to take away the stress, the pain, the cravings, and the anxiety. Most drug addicts take drugs to give themselves that sensation; the sensation of a hit after a long craving, but is craving something, and is the sensation itself really bad? Or is it just the fact that the remedy is something bad?

This week has been a long and stressful week - nothing too serious, and I'm glad it's over. I guess during the week, I too was craving for more time, craving for it to be all over, and craving for the workload to go away, which in the end, it has, and I've never felt better. This was originally going to be a more negative blog about addiction, but because of my mood, there's a positive spin on it too now.

We're all addicted to something. And addiction itself isn't actually that bad. It's what you're addicted to that determines whether it is bad or not. Of course, over fixating on the one thing all the time is bad, but some fixation can actually be good for you. Fixating on the one thing, allows you to concentrate on it. It allows you to focus on it, to achieve it. But sometimes this can get out of hand, and people can get too carried away.

Certain people often crave, or are addicted to other people. They can't stop thinking about them. Thinking about what they are doing, thinking about what they like, thinking about the times together. Whilst some people may find it perfectly normal to place so much emphasis onto the one person, the one remedy, the one hit in their life right now, to the other person, it may just seem plain weird. You cannot let one person consume your whole life, just because you may like them.

Addictions need to be controlled. They cannot get out of hand or you'll lose yourself in the process. People who have been addicted to certain things, may have let go due to such consumptions and tolls they have taken to their lives. We all need a boost at times, we just have to find the right thing, and the right dosage.
