How Much is Too Much?

There are so many things in the world that people allow themselves to become absorbed in. For some it’s books, drugs, money, arts, food, shoes and relationships. I once had a friend who was so obsessed with herself that she destroyed not only her looks but also every single relationship she had with anyone close to her, all in an attempt to fit into those size 2 jeans. Another example of this is a family member of mine who loved alcohol so much that he had to leave his pregnant girlfriend to go to jail for over a year. Another one of my friends loved his school, career, and money so deeply that he is now living in a huge house all alone. I see this time and time again and it’s always made me wonder that if you love and care about something too much, can it only turn around and stab you in the back? I don’t think so. But I do think that there should be an equal balance in all things. It’s just like a diet, you need to eat more than just fruits veggies and water. You need to balance it out with grains, meats and more. I think in life we all just need to look at what we love and realize are we loving the wrong things too much? So tomorrow, a new and great day, I am throwing away half my clothes and asking my sister out to lunch.
