Love comes easy for some and so hard for others. I, for one, am a hopeless romantic, and when I fall for someone, I put my all in to it. One of my friends asked me to write a blog about how I love and lose myself in the process, and I've had a day to mull this over, so I will give it a try.
When I fall for someone, or when I commit to someone or something, I give all of me... mind, body and soul. But at what price? I am generally a caring person, always taking that extra step to ensure that everyone is happy. I worry that people are ok, take on other's responsibilities, caring for their needs, all the while forgetting about my own. My mother is like that too, so I guess I could say that I get it honestly. But is there such a thing as too caring? Is it possible to love someone or something so much that you lose sight of everything that means anything to you? If you are in a relationship, and you want it to work, should you forget about you and focus on "we" or "us" or the plural "you"?
That's debatable. So, I am going to open this up to my readers (the few I have) and ask for your input. I guess this will be a first of many interactive blogs.

Well they do say that love is blind. :)
I think one can possibly be too caring, too loving that they can loose sight.
I can't say this has happened to me yet.. as I haven't fallen in love yet :(

I have a tendency to do that also, and I think that getting too involved with the "us" and forgetting about the "me" can sabotage a relationship later on, especially when one partner is a lot more giving than the other. Eventually, little resentments build, and the "giver" gets burned out. That is when a little argument about something unimportant can blow up into a huge fight that ends the relationship. I am not saying that it's bad to make your relationship a priority, but you have to take time for yourself too, to recharge your batteries, and to keep on activities and interests that your partner may not be that much into. Hopefully, if you are in a relationship, you are with someone who loves YOU, and if you stop being YOU, then who will he have to love?
