Is "As" A Relative In No Such Thing As~?

There’s no such thing as being too serious about something you have a passion for.


As far as I know, If it's a relative, wouldn't it be right to delete something? ('such thing' seems to be the object of 'about' and 'for')

There’s no such thing as being too serious about something you have a passion for.

There's no such thing as being too serious about that you have a passion for ?
