Obsession

In my years to date, I've learned that obsessive thoughts are rarely (perhaps never) interesting to anyone other than their thinker. This holds true across a wide variety of topics, including but not limited to:

-whether you look fat

-whether the boy X who sits beside you in class likes you (usually, no)

-whether it's a good idea to cyberstalk boy X (again, usually, no)

-whether boy X thinks you look fat

-whether you will get into Y school (and it's corollary, whether you will make law review)

-whether you want to marry your boyfriend

-whether your boyfriend wants to marry you

-whether you will land Z job

-whether your offer on that apartment will be accepted

-whether the seller will back out before she signs the contract

-whether you will pass the board

-whether your bathroom will be done before you move in so you don't have to live without a toilet

-whether you will be able to get pregnant

-whether you will have your baby soon

-whether you will ever experience a full night's sleep again

-whether you should go back to work

-whether your husband's company will go bankrupt

-whether your husband will lose his job

-etc.

Having obsessed over all the topics above, and many more, I speak from experience when I say that no one, including my future self, finds ramblings on these topics interesting. Not even a little bit interesting. And since my current thoughts are consumed by another list of whethers - whether we will be in contract on our apartment soon, whether the contract will close, whether we will be homeless as of November 2 - I have decided to spare you all.
