Love Made Me Crazy

By Chuanda Mason

Have you ever loved someone so much that you found yourself not thinking with your brain but constantly letting your heart make decisions that you would not ordinarily think twice about? Of course you have.On so many occasions I said to myself enough is enough but I still stayed because my heart would not let me walk away.

I will talk about how love had me so blind that I let a man physically and emotionally abuse me for years, how love had me so blind to stay with a man that lied and cheated over and over again, and how love had me so blind that I spent over $35,000 cash on a guy.

I want to share these stories with you because many of you have had experiences of your own and I want to let you know that you are not the only one. Maybe my stories will give you inspiration to leave an unhealthy relationship you are currently in or just to open your eyes to any signs of a future relationship like these. I share intimate detail after intimate detail of my relationships from beginning to the end. I follow up each story with a lessons learned, and advice to anyone currently in that type of relationship.

If you thought my "Hell Dates" were crazy let me tell you about some of my "Hell Relationships".

With Hollywood calling my name, the future is bright and I hopefully will land the role of my dreams as a regular on a hit sitcom, she said.

After BET’s Hell Date, she competed on the highly talked about show NBC’s American Gladiator, where she showed the world that she was not just a pretty face.

Love Made Me Crazy.

Okay so wow, I can’t believe I am at a point in my life where I am writing a book! A book about what? What about my life has been so interesting that I would want to share all my personal experiences with the world? Well I have had many inspirations during these past few years of my life. Where exactly do I begin? Well most you all reading this book know me best from the show I worked on called Hell Date on BET. But what many of you don’t know is that I have been around in the business for a few years building a little bit of buzz before I moved out here to LA. Well let’s say that during my time in LA, I have met so many interesting people and have shared my stories over and over again. And I guess from the disbelief from many of what I have been thru in my life, they recommended that I write a book. But as I had said before how could my boring little life be that interesting to fill a book. So after 2 years of pondering on an idea, it just hit me. What about telling you all the stories of the relationships that I have been in and what pains I have endured to let you all know that Love is a powerful thing. So powerful that it can make a sane person go crazy. If you thought some of my Hell Date’s were crazy, let me tell you about some of hell relationships. In this book, I will reveal to you some of the deepest experiences I have gone through with the men in my life and how Love Made Me Crazy. I do not mean that I went crazy over these men but how I loved these men so much that I stayed and dealt with situations that were crazy.

Sitting here thinking about some of the stories I am about to share make me think of how stupid I was. But was I stupid? Or was I just so blinded by love that I could not see that these men were not good for me? At the end of this book you tell me. Have you ever loved someone so much that you found yourself not thinking with your brain but constantly letting your heart make decisions that you would not ordinarily think twice about? Of course you have. You love who you love and can’t anyone change that. On so many occasions I said to myself enough is enough but I still stayed because my heart would no let me walk away. I will talk about how love had me so blind that I let a man physically and emotionally abuse me for years, how love had me so blind to stay with a man that lied and cheated over and over again, and how love had me so blind that I spent over $35,000 cash
