To Love is not a choice. It happens by chance, it happens in time, and it happens when you least expected it. When you feel the presence of Love doesn't mean that you are aware that love is around. Sometimes you are uncertain. Sometimes you want to deny it. Sometimes you want to ignore the feeling. But you cannot help yourself but to keep the bursting feeling of love. People often felt fear in love. Fear of getting hurt, fear of being cheated, and fear of falling tears.
For me, feeling love is an opportunity. It's an opportunity to express that burning feeling of love.
If I'd be ask, I'll make A Decision to Love. I'll take the risk of getting hurt, I'll take the risk of being cheated. Because Love is about taking risks. Love is about getting hurt. Because if you won't feel the pain, that means you are not in love at all... So if I'll have a decision to make, I'll make A Decision to Love.

You are so correct!
At this time last year, I was recovering from a bad finish of a four year, long distance relationship. I loved that guy with all that I had, but he had some serious emotional/mental issues to contend with, as well as some growing addictions. When he didn't understand that I didn't want to keep living that way and that I wanted to go back to college to help support myself, him, and my daughter, I was crushed. We argued for a while, but he has to be up for work at 5 a.m. and it was well after 1 a.m. He told me goodnight and that we'd talk the following day.
That was in October.
I never heard from him again. He refused to answer my emails, phone calls, instant messages, everything.
By Valentine's Day, I was pretty bitter and was refusing to date.
By the end of the month, I ended up meeting a wonderful new man and we have been inseparable ever since. (:
So.. no.. it isn't always planned. It happens suddenly sometimes... and sometimes things work, sometimes they don't.

That is true. Love just happens. You can not just point to a person and say that you love him. Some people would instantly be in love at a first glance. But that I think is rare.
If you feel love, I think you need to nurture the feeling most especially if that person deserves to be loved.
We should not be afraid to feel pain. Pain is inevitable. It happens as well, like love, when you least expect it.

It is true that love sometimes happens by chance. It comes when it comes and you cannot stop it. Your only choice is to decide whether to stop this love or to proceed to take it into action. Love is also a choice. I won't deny the possibility of cultivating love due to our decision to have one. Because some past events of our ancestors had proved that love can be cultivated. Since some of our ancestors' marriage especially those who live in Asian countries had prearranged marriage, and the fact that some of them did fell in love with one another and lived a happy loving family, I would believe that love can be cultivated. The question is whether you want to do it or not.

Loving is the most beautiful thing on earth. Once you have the capacity to love, then you'll also have the capacity to be love in return. Stay in love and make sure to cherish the moments and appreciate more the people you love.
