Yearning..

To yearn..ack yearning.

Mariam-webster defines the word yearn as "to long persistently, wistfully". So..my question is..have you ever yearned for something? Yearned so long for it..then wondered if all your effort was worth it? Wondered should you be putting all that energy into it so early when you could be spending that energy elsewhere?

Is yearning like obsession? That you obsess to the point you become obsessive compulsive? It's like wanting that awesome pair of shoes at the store you've been waiting to go on sale but they never do..eventually your mind gets over them because you've reached your yearning saturation..or your obsession has subsided..Does that mean that, that yearn may come back after a while or that obsession may hit again, or is it really gone forever?

What are your yearnings/obsessions?

Let me see...I wish that Elvis were still alive. I really want to go to a Def Leppard concert at some point. I want to open a coffee shop. Those were off the top of my head.

I've yearned to go back to a moment in time when I said something stupid. Regret is a slow-growing disease.
