No hobby

Avatar for get_the_author

Written by Sean on Wednesday, January 1, 1997

Those desires I have about using the chair are not a hobby for me. They are very real… And yes if they get out of hand it can lead to serious hurt. Emotional hurt, but also if one gets desperate enough, physical hurt. But by relenting to my desires I allow myself to live experiences I think I need. I used a sentence the other day, concerning another topic, but I feel it fits: “Only by stopping your controlling acts over your life and letting it flow can you truly control your life”. To let your desires get out of control is a sort of control in itself. You just let it happen, knowing that you will learn more about yourself that way, if you listen. I know that without using my chair so much I wouldn’t be where I am now. It seems that until I got the chair, my evolution was only in the setting up process. But since I’ve had and used my chair, it all started coming together.
