OK before [livejournal.com profile] sugar84 and myself were discussing whether love is the same as obsession as far as people are concerned. I was telling her that I had learnt that it was different, but it took me a while to figure it out. It took me a while to figure out that in liking the women in my life I didn't exactly know them intimately yet I said I did. So I had to create immages in my poor little head to couteract not knowing them really, as much as I'd wanted too. So, while I believed that I "loved" them, it was not the case, but they were still on my mind 24/7 .. so .. I matured a little and loved a little, I mean .. really. .. I know there's a difference.

i didn't have enough space in the poll...

obsession is selfish, you only want that person for yourself and don't care what you have to do to be with them. you may "think" you love them, but true love must be mutual. also, when you love someone, you want them to be happy and you'll do anything to make sure they are. being in love means someone else comes first. obsession means you come first.
