crazy little thing called love

the stupid things you do for love... you are sane enough to know that it's not probably the wisest move but then again, you still wanna go ahead and do it. All for the sake of love. I'm not tawkin' about resulting yourself to becoming a martyr (or a saint--- or even a slave?). But you gotta admit, there are things that you would willingly do to win the affection of someone, or please your significant other-- whether it be lap dancing (joke!), cooking or avoiding the booze and smoking. Others go to the extreme, well aware of its possible consequences. Am I talking nonsense here?

They say that when you're in love, everything goes berserk. You can't really talk sense out of someone who is determined to do stuff for their loved ones, even at the risk of looking positively silly or hurting someone else in the process, or hurting yourself. For you it's all about the end justifying the means. This is because the heart alone operates-- emotions run high, the stakes are higher. Without the proper intervention of the brain which analyzes your actions/emotions, the decisions that you eventually make will fall short of what you really want in the first place. Then again, you will look back someday and acknowledge the silliness of your actions, but you would still probably acknowledge the fact that it did help you in more ways than one. There are risks that you would take-- even at the expense of others. Because, you reason out, if you do nothing, you might lose the person that you love. Of course, the primordial fear here is losing someone altogether. That same fear motivates you to change your ways, or better yet, improve yourself-- make sure that your loved one won't leave you or won't lose his affection for you. Competition is tough out there, you realize. Better hang on to your man, ladies! Or else, someone will steal him away...
