infatuation
Infatuation is the ceremonial act of pawning one’s ego and deifying an object of affection, discarding reality like a used ticket. Be it love, hobby, or work, it drags every endeavor into its bottomless swamp. While entranced, your so-called free will is suspended, delivering an asymmetric response akin to a one-way slap. The moment your insurance of rationality expires, you’re left with a void as if bankrupt of all assets. It’s a sweet trap everyone tries at least once, stashing tales of regret in the heart where it aches most.
