We all have our own little obsessions that we hold dear to us. To each one our own, the spectrum our obsessions are incredibly diverse in their field. But it’s almost impossible to explain how or why we drown ourselves in it. Join me as I go off the deep end in investigating the obsessions that continue to allure us, because it’s through our love and our appreciation for the trivial things in life, that we have the most innate voices to be heard and the most compelling stories to tell.
