The bright lights of america.

It's funny how fast an thought can turn into a full fledged obsession. Like a little seed planted in your brain, being fed by the media and social pressure until that little thought-seed is fertilized and turned into a vine that creeps through your mind, strangling and over taking everything, until nothing but it, is left.
How do I snap out of this? How can I stop obsessing over this? It's driving me crazy, breaking me in half, and I'm the only one who can piece myself back together.
