#16 Brief Obsessions

Brief obsessions come and on. All of a sudden, we get interested in something. The interest escalates quickly and becomes an obsession. We consume everything we can find about it, we learn, we try, and we feel like our lives have a new meaning. Until, just as suddenly, we don't. Sound familiar? What's Memento Mori Lab? Memento Mori Lab is our permission slip to experiment, try new things, and keep bringing ideas to life. In my case, that means writing mediocre poetry, some stories and scripts, doodling, and recording this podcast. Memento Mori reminds us, we are going to die. Whatever creative endeavor you've been postponing, now is the time to take action. 🔥Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and anywhere you get your podcasts! 👉https://anchor.fm/mementomorilab Instagram: @memento.mori.lab Twitter: @mementomorilab Poems Brief obsessions The obsession hits me, Without warning. I watch all there is to watch I read, well, skim through All there is to read. I know it all. I learn it all. I crave more and I know nothing. I turn the page and see, This is only chapter one. I barely scratched the surface But, I'm already exhausted. And my obsession deflates, slowly, Suffocated by smoke without fire Dead flames without ashes. I take a break to breathe in clarity But I know that any exit I take Becomes my next, brief, obsession. Why do I even question my next move Or hope for anything to stay? - Finite & This is it: Soon available on Not Poetry, Medium Publication
