Stultifying Fixations
When Helpful Distractions Become Unhealthy Obsessions!
Distractions
I've come to love them
Seriously, adore them
They've helped me in so many ways over the years
Reduced the time, and energy I had to put into
Addictive, destructive tendencies
Clogging up my waking hours, with less harmful, more wholesome interests and pursuits
Taking my mind elsewhere, away from the damaging filth that resides within its depths
I really can't imagine where I'd be without them, probably still stuck in a rut and suffering
Only problem is - the distractions, in their own right, become unhealthy obsessions
Now the distractions that saved me have transformed into stultifying fixations.
