Infatuation. I define that word simply as a strong feeling of lust we get before logic is applied. You can be infatuated with a $1000 jacket until you apply logic and realize that your rent needs to be paid. You can be infatuated with a young lady and think you want to marry her until you apply logic and realize she’s not quite the one. You can be infatuated with a certain lifestyle until you suddenly realize that you’re capable of much better.
Basically I’m learning not to act on infatuations. The only way to distinguish infatuation from the real deal is to give it time. Allow time for that logic to seep in. If you can’t apply logic then that means you truly love that thing or person, or you truly should be living that lifestyle. True feelings are unshakable. Logic can no longer be applied. This is how you know you’ve made that right song, met that right girl, found that right city to live in, so on and so forth.
