On burning desires.

Why, you think, do they call it a burning desire?

Because it really burns you, and consumes you. You, your life, your mind, body, and soul. You will not fall asleep without thinking about it, and neither will you wake up without it being the first thought of your day. You really are on fire.

And when you finally start to realise that you do have a burning desire, you’ll start to think twice as hard about it, constantly envisioning the distance and the path that you have to tread to reach its fruition, for a simple reason: that you just can’t afford to burn yourself out.
