HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?
We all have multiple relationships along the course of our lives. We’re born with a few, some are forced upon us, we adapt a few, and there’s those few which we choose and nurture ourselves.
These chosen ones, often remain close to the heart and we work the hardest on them. These are always the toughest relationships to be in. Because they’re based purely on intent (which is an extremely volatile aspect) and powered with an unconditional will to sustain (which can also quiver every now and then or may wilt away without us noticing). But we tend to hold on to these relationships nonetheless, because we believe our happiness lies in them.
And so, our lives start revolving around these relationships. Most of the times, it’s beautiful and gratifying. But needless to say, everything about these relationships affect us more and hurt us the most. Such bonds end up dominating our life through our expectations, thoughts, moods, disappointments and the faith and dependency we put in the other person in that relationship. But how healthy is this? To invest so much in one relationship?
HOW MUCH can you let a relationship affect you? Whether it’s positively or negatively. HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? It’s impossible to quantify. But if you feel you’re getting the raw end of the deal, way too often, it’s time to reflect. It’s time to step back and let the other person in that relationship take charge. If this doesn’t happen, clearly the deal you’re getting a raw end of, is one sided! And being on any side of a one sided anything is the toughest place to be in!
P. S- This is applicable to any relationship that you invest in fully!
