Obsession Review

Love will always be an interesting subject and our relationship with it is always changing. Are we slaves to it, are we uprising against it, do we wait for it to consume and suffocate us…find out next(life)time on DBZ

The film was a brilliant, chilling and beautifully captured piece of art. Taking such a championed emotion and opening a portal most weren’t ready for and took the audience to the depths of what love can look like in one of its more forms.

The most chilling part for me was Nikki's whimpering cries for help. Being put there against her will was so fascinating for many reasons. Switching back and forth between the wish command and normalcy was almost inseparable. Reminds of me the saying ‘you show your true colours when your angry’. Who is the real version of you when you are dating or in a relationship.... 

People scream on dating apps that they want someone obsessed with them. When it happens they rebuke it or claim they don’t know where it all went wrong. 

People never dream about doing the work in their fantasies - mentor

It’s meant to be easy and you’re meant to be supported without lifting a single finger. It’s never about the work that needs to be done to sustain the wish but the focus on the outcome. 

In other cases, such as our career paths & goals. The obsessive energy works the same. Grinding culture can be so alluring because of the twisted relationship with consistency and reward. The thing that’s never addressed is how poisonous that state of mind is. It becomes a persona which can cause the individual to be a former shell of who they used to be. The reward is not worth the decay.

Don’t die before you get to your destination - strings

People who need to be right all the time, look like they have the answers or they’re to honest and have to tell people ‘how it is’.  One day you’ll say something you cant take back. All these masks are obsessions and if anything a mask will always come off. It’s not enough to change your appearance or acquire something new. 

Be hypervigilant about what internal narratives are being weaved into your mind and body. If it causes you to overreact and be harmful to yourself and others chances are its a coping mechanism disguised as a personality. It will push you and everyone away until it gets what it wants. Once that urge is satisfied it will leave you just like Nikki, you’ll have to deal with the consequences.

Words are spells so be careful what you wish for.
