Let me start by saying what obsession is. Definition, which I found in dictionary says: "Obsession is an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind."
But in reality this feeling is much deeper and stronger sometimes. So it's difficult describe it with the words.
Some people obsessed with their lovers, with food, with pets, with TV-shows, someone obsessed with job, idea and etc. The object of obsession may differ from person to person and even if it's so different sometimes, still it have something similar: usually, when people get what they obsessed with they finally become happy for some period of time, but than they start to want something new. It like with drug addicted people or with adrenaline. You want so much to get it, than when you receive a dose, you became most happiest person in the world, but some time latter this feeling disappear and you start this vicious circle from the beginning.
Anyway, I'd like to tell you about my obsession. It's my deep secret, but I'll share it with you but on one condition: you'll keep it and wouldn't tell anyone.
My obsession and my addiction is ... traveling. In my opinion there is nothing better in this world than travelling.
When I was 6-7 years old I went abroad first time in my life. We went to Greece. Now I already don't remember which place in Greece it was exactly, but I remember for sure how excited I was. Just imagine: you going to the huge and scary machine which going to fly above the countries, seas and sky! Few hours and you came to plays where you never was before, where everything so different from your normal life: another weather, other people, food, language... Everything!
Since this time I traveled almost every year. I went to USA, France, Italy, England, Dubai, Thailand... Many countries around the world. I can't explain why exactly I love it. Maybe because you meet new people there, who can became your really good friends in future, maybe because you try new cuisine, which about you even never heard before. You can learn different languages or at least some phrases. You can enjoy unique architecture of different counties, cities, centuries. And of course because you faced with new cultures and have opportunity to broad your horizons, connect it with your culture and so on.
I hope that my job in future will be connected with my obsession. It became a reason why I want to study tourism and hospitality now. Also I hope I'll find people who have the same obsession and we will travel and try to find ways to travel more and more together. Below, maybe one year ago, I was obsessed with idea to go to USA. Now, when my dreams came true, I want to visit India, Australia and Brazil.
So, as you understood from my writing, I deeply obsessed with wanderlust.
