Too Much?

Prompt:
Do you believe it's possible to love someone too much? Like maybe sometimes love just ain't enough... Your thoughts?

Wow! A love question! To go with my belated love NL to come at the end of this month, instead of before Valentine's Day.

But loving someone too much? And how much is too much?

I don't exactly know but I can guess I just might be guilty of it...or not. I'm not sure of this but like anything so intense, too much(?) love may not be enough since love as an emotion has its own pros and cons.

On the plus side, because of the feelings of deep connection and strong bond and support and understanding between the lover and and the loved one, plus their shared happiness, there is that emotional satisfaction, which probably can become some kind of a motivation for people to grow.

And we know that growth has its own arc that may take a person to new heights and let them discover new areas. This is where that "too much love" may fail, if the two parties grow in different ways and into different areas and their sights and modes of living turn into a conflict.

There may be other cons, too. Like too much codependency or too much fear of loss. Add to this unrealistic expectations...and...but here I go again... How can anyone have unrealistic expectations if there is love? Because I think with love comes acceptance, also.

And just maybe, self-love, which is a totally different subject, should come before "too much love" for another. Still, whether self-love should step on the podium for the first prize or not, life is complex as it is and why mess it up with "too much" of anything!

On the funny/ridiculous side, my recent blog posts are turning into me-debating-myself. Lol!
