Love is a decision

Tweet

With all the topics I have opened so far with regards to love, it's quite redundant that I still would open such topics. But admittedly, I'm not (and never will be) an expert on love. It just fascinates me to know that slowly and almost every day I learn from it. My relationship isn't close to perfect, I didn't not get to celebrate Valentine's Day, I even cried half of it. But, it's neither one of us' fault. I don't want to go further with that topic. Today, I'd like to talk about what love is for me. I like looking at couples. I've always appreciated couples, specially those who are mature and no longer 'in the clouds of lust, fancy and infatuation'. I like looking at couples holding hands - not for the show, but because love has grown between them. I like couples who, when talking, you could still see how they are looking at each other as if every word is a precious gem. I may never be that girl, or may even be forever an spectator, but I won't hold it against anyone. Love is a decision. A decision to spend time with someone, not because you have to, but because you want to. A decision to choose to give effort to show that someone that she is special. A decision to celebrate love even when it's corny or overly commercialized because it's fun to sometimes laugh at yourself for doing such a thing. To all who were brokenhearted or to those who were alone on such a moment, I tell you, love is a decision. But it isn't only you who decides. For you who are happy and loved, cherish the moments because you are one of the few who get to feel that way, in a world full of hatred and pain, kudos to you for having the chance to be loved and to love.
