South of Normal

Some of you have it.  That thing that keeps you south of normal. You focus everything you have on it; you become passionate about it. It consumes you. You have a hard time identifying yourself apart from it.

Until.

Until the one day when you are separated from it. You begin to see yourself apart from it. You begin to redefine your life without it being in the description.

And little by little, I come closer to normal.  I look forward to the next thing that pulls me south of normal.
