Brain dump and obsessions, it takes me years of denial to make a decision

I obsessed when I began writing here on Medium; really when starting anything new in my life. Whatever you are trying to achieve, do you obsess? I can, without a doubt, tell you I obsess. I am obsessive; it is my personality.

I have to book a PCR to travel. I hate traveling these days; I want to stay home, garden, and learn to take care of myself with nothing. That is my preferred obsession.

Yet the past two days, my focus has been on finding a PCR test site that has a rapid test because I can not wait and wonder if it will come back before my flight so I do not miss my flight.

Back to I hate travel right now. I should not be too upset, as it is only the 2nd PCR test I have taken since COVID. That is how little I travel nowadays. I know there are two camps in the travel world.

I see both sides, coming from someone who has been told her whole life, ¨Sara, you can not do it all¨. I will fight back with every inch of my being and say, ¨yes, I can. I believe, and yes, I will obsess with making it come true¨.
