THE DIVA: Love can make people do crazy things
Love, in its purest form, makes people do weird things. While some of us get better at masking them with age, we all have those undeniable urges to do weird things we would never normally do in the name of love. For example, when I was in campus I was smitten by this guy who was sort of a bad boy. I remember one time I smoked weed and almost died because I was asthmatic, all in an ill-fated attempted to prove to my crush I was a cool girl who liked to party. I even got a tattoo of a boyfriend because I foolishly believed we would last forever and now I have a tattoo that reminds me of my foolish days.
Many of us have done questionable things for love. Sometimes I look back at all the sacrifices and dumb things I did in the name of love and just laugh at myself- No regrets there, just plain humor at my naivety. I bet you can relate, whether it’s attending a church to be with them despite not even being a Christian or accepting unfair treatment because you thought he was “the one”, it’s common to be blinded by emotions and a desire to be coupled up.
And it’s nothing to be ashamed of, people out there have done crazier things for love.
I read on the internet about this couple who were so in love with each other that they decided to get plastic surgery so they could be identical. May sound crazy and mental but trust me we’ve all been there, whether it’s a psycho moment, emotional moment, or completely selfless gesture. Love can push us to do things we never thought we’d do.
But in all honesty, there are some things that people do for love that leave you wondering what the hell!
Kill: it’s become a common thing nowadays. Crimes of passion have become rampant and you gotta wonder is it really worth it? Is love really having blood stained hands? Don’t let your feelings convince you to do anything crazy. If the person you love hurts you, you can always let them go – there really are more fish out there.
Get into physical fights: the whole idea of some guy fighting for your love is theoretically charming but come on!!Nowadays fights escalate so quick, the next thing you know some guy is dead because of you. And ladies please never hurt your pretty face fighting another woman for a man, he is not worth it. There’s no reason to compete for their affection
Trap pregnancy: I know a good number of women who h+ave ended up in unhappy relationships because they thought if they got pregnant, it’ll keep their man around. Of course, that’s a horrible idea, because he will still leave if he doesn’t want to stay
Lower your standards: Do not lower your standards. It’s better to be single than in a relationship with someone who treats you poorly and disregards your values.
Love is a beautiful thing, so don’t ruin its reputation by doing these horrible things. I know people who have ruined their lives because they made bad choices and decisions all for love. Don’t let that happen to you. There are easier ways to show love that won’t strip you of your dignity.
