Pathetic Poetic- Stay Inspired

There is a fine line to walk between poetic and pathetic.  For me the poetic mindset is spurred by inspiration, typically in the form of love and adoration. Inspiration can quickly become infatuation and obsession if not kept in check.  Infatuation and obsession cross the line over to pathetic very rapidly.  I struggle with this because when I am inspired by someone I tend to dwell on them and elevate them above what any human should be.  However, I think it's important to maintain inspiration without infatuation.  It is good to be inspired by someone. It helps to improve you, it keeps creativity flowing, but infatuation is almost a selfish type of adoration in which we want to dominate a person's attention or time.   To me it's important to live life inspired by people.  When you lose the inspiration for either infatuation or lack of inspiration then you tend to have a more self centered and negative outlook.  When you are passively focused on how the existence of someone makes you feel and the positive energy they give you then, generally speaking, you are a more positive person.  Furthermore I think it's good to be inspired by someone even if they don't know it or don't give a damn.  There have been a few times in my life in which I have been inspired by someone and they were indifferent towards me.  Despite their indifference though, if I am able to be inspired by the essence of their life, then I can return their positive energy rather than their negative energy.  If I become infatuated with them rather than inspired I turn that into negative energy because I obsesses over making them mine or getting their attention.  If I am inspired by someone I love them and admire them as well as wish the best for them.  If I am the best, so be it, if I am not, so be it.  I want them happy and to have all they deserve.  When I am infatuated I want them to want me if it fucking kills them. Not if it's best for them.  In light of this I will say I have been strugging with infatuation and I want to make it more of an inspiration.  I don't want to be selfish, I want to be contented admiring your existence from afar and be happy just to know that people like you live here on earth.  Be inspired my friends and stay inspired.
