Love is a choice. Period. We have the power to choose within us how we are going to react to any situation presented before us. We can choose to act in love, or not.
It is much harder to love someone over a long period of time than it is to feel "in love" at the beginning of a relationship. I don't think that is real love at all. It is effortless, and love requires effort.
Too often, "I love you" stands for " I need you". Well, this isn't love, either.
In a long term relationship, maybe " I love you" should be replaced with "You are not perfect, but I admire and respect most of what you stand for, and I choose to love you despite your faults. "
impodentjim: I suggest you look at the facts before assumption in the future.
Seeing as you're clearly a little slower than the rest of us, I will narrow it down for you:
1. If you read my profile you would see my maritial status as : yes that's right- SINGLE!!!
2. I you read my photo description you would see it clearly states : Me and my cuz (cuz referring to the fact he is my cousin...i.e-my mother's sisters son)
I actually wrote : "is evidence enough for anyone who has an object on top of his spinal cord that is larger than a golf ball".
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my Blog and know that you're response means unfortunately you have an object smaller than a golf ball on top of your spinal cord (something I didn't think possible)
I encourage you read the rest before making judgement about my intelligence. My Blog was merely inspired by "Inconvenient Truth"
(a)-you can sit around reflecting on past events trying to figure out a way to turn back time
(b)-you can realise when one person leaves you're life, there will be somebody to replace them in time.
To put it simply life goes on. Nobody's life is perfect and I believe bad things happen so we realise we should appreciate what we have. Learn from whatever mistakes were made in the past and put you're efforts into you're future.
Firstly, need a girl??? sorry kid, you shouldn't need anybody. you might want things alright and from my experience if you want something you can't sit around and wait for it to come to you-go out and get it.
Secondly, you're only 18!! you will need to learn to be content with being alone before you can open you're heart to somebody. Too many people are in relationships for all the wrong reasons, i.e-fear of being alone.

Just my 2 cents worth.
