Stupid and Bizarre

My name is Jense.
My roommate said, "I used to think that you and Syd were so stupid. Cuz it's never smart. No. Not one excuse. It's dumb. It's stupid."
Is it? Is it really stupid?
What defines stupid anyway? I mean, I've seen other people do things that I think is stupid, but they think it's totally normal. Like, staying up till 4 in the morning on a school night. If you ask me, that's stupid.
Ok, so that's beside the point. So anyways, I've been thinking a lot. Sure, there are some things that are legitmately stupid. Like staying up late. Or running out into the streets. Or running around naked around the neighborhood. (Yes these are bizarre examples. But that's why they are stupid.)
But then there's the other kind of stupid. The bizarrest of them all.
AKA: Love.
Yes. Love. The bizarrest of them all.
Is bizarrest even a word? Well, it is now.
Oh the things that love will make you do. Really. Think about it. It makes you not think. Right?
Love will make you sell yourself short, and go for the guy who doesn't treat you right. Make you do things you don't wanna do. Make you do things just to feel loved.
Love will make you stay with someone for years, even if you know that it's not working.
Love will make you stay with someone, even when they have problems, physically, mentally, or spiritually. It will make you stay for months, with no guarantee that they will stay.
Love will make you wait for someone to come back, even if its for years. It will keep you hoping, even if you don't know what will happen when they come back.
....
If they come back.
....
If they even love you if they come back.
....
Bizarre, huh?
I don't think so.
You wanna know why love is the bizarrest of them all? Cuz even though it has no guarantees, even though he may leave and never come back, even though you do the craziest things, you do it for him.
You do it for him because you love him more than yourself.
And when you love someone more than yourself, you find a reason to live. A reason to want to live.
And that's why Syd or I or any other girl who have loved someone more than themselves, aren't stupid.
Love is never stupid.
