If you've ever been tremendously into something that for days, weeks, months - it's the first thing on your mind when you wake up and the last thing on your mind before you go to bed. How does one come out of it? 

The peculiar thing is that change takes place in the ever so subtle transition between your motivation and your independent way of facing reality. One day it's one your mind and the next, it slips from your mind. Once that starts, it's like a domino-effect of constant slipping from your thoughts, slipping from your consciousness, til you find that it doesn't really matter anymore. 

But the real change occurs when you wake up one morning and it's not the first thing on your mind. It isn't even the second thing. And suddenly, you realize "oh why didn't I think of it first?". It's presence has slipped you, ever so slowly and you didn't even have to put in effort. It even takes effort remembering. 

This is the cycle of phases, that's just it. It's not on your mind and you don't even know it. Something that was so important isn't anymore. 

Maybe it's the mind's own mechanism of getting over something.
