That four letter word makes you do stupid things.

That four letter word... L..O..V..E.
Unless you've felt it, you can't imagine it. Unless you've been there, you cannot understand it.
Love makes you do crazy things. Sometimes stupid crazy things.
We'd do anything to feel loved once we know how it can feel.

We even do things we said we would never do.
Sometimes when all is on your side, love can make you strong. 
When all the ingredients, well most, are in the pot, magic happens.
Ingredients like trust, respect, honesty, loyalty, space etc.

But when a few of these aspects are missing and are accompanied by negative emotions...
Love can lead to stress and crazy decisions. 
Combine love with distrust, fear, insecurity, pain (which is inevitable) 
and you create the perfect recipe for disaster.

You start doing things that you never did before.
Checking if everything your significant other say checks out. 
Asking to many questions. Wanting confirmation that he/she cares every second.
Always thinking the worst and imagining the most silliest stories ever!
Just waiting for him/her to fail.

STOP!
Basically, you are smothering the one you love so much.
You know it has to stop, but you just can't help yourself. 
Because you just need that confirmation, you just need that love back.

It's such an addiction...
And like any other addiction it only causes stress.
And with stress comes that longing of confirmation to lower the stress.
A vicious circle. 

How to get out?
Letting go I guess.
One of the hardest decisions to make in life is letting go.
Maybe not a decision you'll make fast, but one that should linger in the back of your mind.
I'm sure there will be more signs that will lead you to making the right decision.

Ow love...such a complicated thing.
