"But maybe that's what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all."
I read this line from a book by Emily Giffin. And I remembered something close to that line that an old flame once told me: that love is not just a feeling but a choice. When you fall, that's the feeling, but when you finally accepted that you are in love, that's the choice. Love must also have acceptance. And with acceptance, it must have commitment. You can't just have love and be done with it like that. It must be nurtured, and it must grow. Not just the feeling but also the two people sharing it. Both must accept, and both must commit.
Now, are you ready for that commitment to love?
