Falling In Love Is Easy —
STAYING In Love Is A Choice
Love is a feeling of
warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent,
child, or friend.
Love is saying I see you, all
of you, exactly how you are — and I still choose you.
Falling in loveisn't a choice; it's an irrational chain of events that simply cannot be stopped. It can happen slowly, over time, or quickly in a matter of moments. One glance. One touch. One eight-hour phone conversation. And it's all over.
Falling in love is the easy part — the excitement that comes with learning what makes another person tick, and the equally terrifying counterpart of exposing your soul to somebody else. It's interesting, unique. It never happens the same way twice.
But staying in love is a choice. An active decision-making process that requires work and dedication. It's easy to fall in love with somebody for all their good qualities: they're smart, sexy, funny. These things are easy to love.
