“Is there anything wrong with being obsessive when it comes to your passion?” Our advice columnist Pepper offers responds to a querent who can’t stop reading and writing.
I️ will also note that there’s no rule that says your boyfriend has to be happy about every decision you make. So honor his unhappiness and don’t demand he hide it from you. You can be kind and understanding to him without defaulting to doing what he wants.
As for describing a passion for writing as an addiction: I don’t think it’s bad to be obsessed with something unless doing so hurts you. If your writing obsession does start hurting you—if you lose your job, for instance , and you can’t make a living, or if you stop taking care of yourself and end up burning out after a month—you might want to reëxamine your approach to writing.
But how much income, sleep, food, exercise, and friendship is the right amount for you at any given moment is for you to judge. There is no fixed amount. If you feel like seeing a friend one evening per week right now, that’s great, even if you used to go out every night. Discipline is a great thing. .
Moderation is less intuitive than passion. If you need to introduce more of it, you’ll learn how, slowly and gradually feeling your way. For now, it sounds like you’re deep in the passion, so enjoy it. And, if it doesn’t last forever , that’s O.K. You can still keep writing, and evolving as a writer.
