Sometimes when you love a person too much, you either drive yourself insane or you drive him out of your life. Well thank God that when I almost reached the brink of unhinged morale I realized how love really works. I now can say that too much of something is always bad, even worse. Loving someone more than you love yourself, I think is worst. But it made me tougher and stronger. I have always invested too much emotion on each romance I had. I thought loving is giving everything, submitting to the one you love and doing everything for him. I have always solicited attention and love for all of my life. And to earn that, I did everything for them. And I always overdo it. It’s very hilarious when I look back and saw myself doing those things.
I had a breakthrough when someone asked if I’m contented with what’s happening in my life at that moment. I assessed the question; I was actually classifying it to lots of aspects in my life. It was then that I realized that maybe she is pertaining to how I deal with my relationship.
You see, sometimes too much emotion or love blinds us. We see only good things that make us happy, we overlook more significant things. If you love someone, you always base it to feelings; how you feel when you’re with him or how he makes you feel good about yourself. But it should not be like that. And avoid mistaking love for physical attraction or for sexual attraction. It is more than that.
Loving someone would entail commitment, patience and honesty for the relationship to work. Now I realized that. It is give and take. It will never work one-way.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.” Corinthians 13:4-7
