it’s so funny to me how every time people try to share theirs, they hesitate, get nervous.
they second-guess. they lighten it up. they start saying, “well, i wouldn’t call it an addiction…” “well, I’m not addicted, but…”
obviously we’re not talking about real addiction.
so the question becomes: why does the word make you check yourself?
we only do that because “addiction” has been locked in this negative corner of our minds.
when you take that same word & drop it into everyday life, it forces you to actually look at yourself.
you start thinking.. this thing i love sm, this thing i do without even noticing… why am i suddenly defending it? why am i trying to label it? What is it about your interests, routines, that makes you want to clarify, distance yourself, explain?
for me, im an “AVID cinephile and a pop culture connoisseur. “

they’re patterns. influences. the things that shape how i think, create, & interact with the world.
so when i say accepted addictions, im really talking about the things we gravitate toward so naturally that we don’t question their impact — until someone frames them in a way that makes us look twice. they connect, they overlap, they explain pieces of who I am.
the moment you recognize that the things you love so intensely, the things you pour yourself into, are actually shaping you in ways you never stopped to notice.
