Love can be dangerous. I never thought that loving someone could be a dangerous thing but I have come to realise a lot of things in the last few months. I believe that as humans, we are addicted to feelings. We want to feel good, we want to feel wanted and we like the rush of love. The thing is that love can be too much and it can take over your whole being if you are not careful.

I have always had people in my life tell me important life lessons, like 'never put your guard down' and 'protect your heart'. I listened to them for all these years and now I find that I was in some way wrong for listening to them but I was also right to listen to them because it did save me from ever getting too deep.

I will never forget my first secret crush I had on someone. I was a junior in high school and I had a major crush on a senior. He was the real womaniser kind and all the girls just loved him. I knew he liked me as he would give me detention and pick on me. I never let him know. I never let my guard down and as I watched him hurt on girl after another, I was safe. Years later I bumped into him and he begged me to go out with him and I refused, I had a choice, the safe guy or the dangerous guy. I don't know what would have happened if I chose the dangerous guy but I would have loved him too much that I know the fairytale would have ended.

The point I am trying to make is that loving too much will and can hurt you in the end unless you know for an absolute fact that the man whom you love too much, loves you the same way if not more than you do. A lot of people would think that my way of thinking is stupid and that I might have a few regrets, maybe so but I made my choices and it is easier to play it safe.

Loving too much is crazy love, it's explosive and unpredictable. If you are willing to take that chance then that is your choice. The goosebumps and butterflies could maybe be worth it but you might find yourself singing the song,"better to have lost in love than to have loved at all." I know I am too careful in life and I have seen many of my friends hurt by crazy love. Loving too much will drive you crazy. Maybe just maybe that crazy love is a shared love and it could work and if you have found that shared love, you are a lucky person and you should strive to never let that go.

Loving too much can have its positives and negatives. Just remember to use your mind as well as your heart whatever you decide.
