I like this turn of phrase

It is exactly like that. A little warm secret fire in your heart, something that's yours and brings you comfort but slowly fucking burns everything else to ash.

And just like fire, not every fire has to be destructive. If you use the right fuels and keep it under control, you'll have a safe fireplace.

I'd say by the time you can call it an addiction, the fire is already out of control

Very much obviously. I didn't account for that part.

Addiction is never good. I mentally used fire as a metaphor for medicine

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
