Too much of everything.
What does that even mean, too much of something? It doesn't seem like a very generalizable concept, because something that just seems too much for me, might be just appropriate for someone else. That being said, I do strongly believe that no matter what the object or situation of discussion is, everyone has experienced too much of something, because techincally, how can we know something is just about enough for us when we don't know how much is too much?
Maybe by now, you get the drift of today's post, because realistically I have been saying too much of too much ... or maybe not?

According to me, the first signs of too much, is when one starts to see things that have been encountered too much. For example, I'm studying psychology (which by itself can already be too much for some), so when I talk to another psychology student we usually converse using psychological terms (probably way too much). I study a lot and constantly look to apply my knowledge, which can get a bit too much every now and then.
Another example, I am really into Heroes Season 3 at the moment and all I do is watch Heroes. And that too, probably too much. I see people that remind me of Heroes characters all over the place, which makes me realize that I watch Heroes too much.
You can kind of get the idea of my perspective of something that is too much. Just when you think it can't get any more, the concept of too much redefines itself. I went out for dinner with TDH the other day and all of a sudden it hit me "TDH looks like a Heroes character!". So let me get this straight, I'm sitting at this table with someone who looks like a Heroes character .. crazy huh ? Yeap, that's what I thought too until I started conversing in psychological terms with my Heroes character, which was the ultimate and too much to handle. It was too long ago, but at that point, I probably told myself that this was all a dream and I as soon as I wake up I am actually talking to TDH and not to some character in psychology language. But really, that never happened. Surprisingly - not that I didn't know this before, but it hit me just then that too much is a very relative concept. Something on its own can never be too much. So realistically, the fact that I have been saying too much too much in this paragraph is only too much in relation to my other choice of words.
To sum it all up, I can safely agree that I have been saying too much too much in this paragraph and most probably not only I will think so. :) What to do when something is too much ? Don't worry, the body usually comes up with a compensatory response to balance the situation or the impact, in order to restore equilibrium. So I could probably come up with even more example of situations where too much occurred, but I reckon I should better give in to my compensatory response and watch one more Episode of Heroes *winkwink*.
P.S.: I have just externalized insanity that has accumulated over the course of an entire day of too much studying.
