The best way someone explained it to me was this. "Your like an animal that find something shiny and is completely **infatuated** with it. Then time comes along and dulls it till you find something even more shiny, new, and exciting. Dropping the old one and becoming infatuated with the new one. It's not gone persay but it's not what your eyes are on. Your focus set on the new shiny and you repeat...eventually." was the gist of it. I never realised how true it was till later. When even after I had gotten better, I did exactly that. Again.
