I really enjoyed reading this. Interesting piece. As I was reading, I found myself thinking about things that I do that don't feel like an obligation but rather a compulsion but nothing really came to mind. Almost everything I do these days feel like an obligation and that sucks. At this point, it'll be accurate to describe living as an obligation and that sucks as well.
Another thing I stumbled upon as I was thinking was that, sometimes when I start doing an activity that feel like an obligation, after some time, the activity no longer feels like an obligation, you then start to enjoy the process, enjoy participating in that activity. Rather than the activity feeling like an obligation, it feels otherwise, a compulsion. Time and time again, this happens and you wonder why this activity still feels like an obligation despite feeling otherwise after doing the activity for sometime.
Really enjoyed this piece. I wonder if you've come across people that have bridged this gap. I've found moments in my life when obligation comes from within, not an external force and that has a lovely push/power as well. Like: doing something very thoughtful for someone because that's the kind of person your conscience tells you to be. Often, if the muse seems elusive, this can be a fuel for patience and continuing to discover.
Loved it.
Planning on sharing it with my audience soon.

Once again, great post.
