This is my first blog in a while. I’ve had a lot on my mind so I decided to start writing again. Today I want to talk about that person in a relationship that that stays with someone whether they do right or do wrong. Some would call that person “stupid” but others may call that person “ride or die”. So what is the difference?
To me the difference is unconditional love. That person who is considered the “ride or die” chick / nigga is the one that found this at some point. That person is the one that knows that he will always come back because when the hard times come, you will be there to pick up the pieces. You stay because you decided that you would love that man no matter what he does and support him when no one else will. You believe in him when no one else will. You’ll love him when no one else will. Some people might call you stupid for it, but you don’t care because it’s a feeling only you can feel and you know what the situation is.
Stupidity is a completely different thing. Now I would never call someone stupid for knowing what they want and trying to get it, so don’t take offense, but for those that have never had love (and definitely not unconditional love), they get put in this category. They put up with things that they shouldn’t hoping that one day it will lead to something that never existed in the first place. Personally, I wouldn’t call them stupid because everyone seeks love in their life, but it may just be that they are misguided or mislead.
Love is a crazy thing. It makes people do crazy things. Despite all that, it is an experience that everyone should go through at some point in their life. That experience, whether good or bad, should never be forgotten. Whether you are that “ride or die” or whether people just think you’re stupid, go hard for what you want. Take advice from others, but make your own decision, follow your own path, and live with it. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll hit the jackpot and find someone who loves you back.

I like, I like!! I do agree there's a difference between "ride or die" vs. stupidity; HOWEVER the problem is most "stupid" people try to categorize their actions as being ride or die when it's simply that they're being stupid. Sometimes ride or die can be a label for stupidity. So how do you tell the difference? Ride or die doesn't hurt because love makes BOTH parties committed to one another; actions are reciprocated. Stupid is when only one person is trying. The most important thing (as you said), is that people make their own decisions...and only when they're ready.
This is deep in so many ways. "Love" is the hardest thing to understand in my opinion. I wonder which category I fall in...guess I have to be IN a relationship to see. Oh well...lol.
