At The End Of The Day, Love Is AĀ Choice
Love is a feeling of deep affection or a strong liking for someone. Love can be used as a verb meaning to feel a strong romantic love or sexual desire for somebody.
Itās the most underrated, underused, and misunderstood term in our vocabulary. It can be an utter delight or a never-ending struggle. It can fill you with intense joy and pain; it can intimidate with its capacity for pain; it can feel too close to ever be comfortable.
One of the most powerful feelings we have, love is also one of the most confusing ā especially in relationships. Trying to decipher what your romantic partner wants from you sometimes feels like reading a foreign language. Love is what you do when youāre with the person you care about most. Itās not just saying, āI love you.ā Itās doing things and showing it every day. Love takes time to grow, and this means both people have to show patience and understanding with each other sometimes. And thatās okay!
One of the most basic lessons taught in school is that love is hard. From the moment weāre old enough to have our first crush, weāre told how painful and complicated it can be, not to mention how difficult it seems to get over a breakup. And yet, right before our eyes are thousands of adults who are still with one another after going through heartbreak.
But just because love is hard doesnāt mean itās supposed to be. Love can be just as easy as falling out of bed. All we have to do is choose it. The problem is that weāve been conditioned to believe that the only way to love someone or something is through pain and difficulty. If anything worth having hasnāt hurt you, then you arenāt trying hard enough.
For that reason, love can be hard. No matter how much you care about someone or how much they care about you, there will always be obstacles between two people that can come between them. When those walls get broken down, itās because, for the majority of the time, one person chooses to let them fall.
Love is a choice. What I learned is that we choose the people we love, because when we love somebody, we love them because we chose to. We chose every single part, the good and the bad, and obviously when you fall in love with somebody, you fall in love with the person whoās right in front of you ā not potential, not everything else. So yes, we choose who to love. And we choose to love unconditionally; we choose to love that one person for the rest of our lives.
Love is a choice because love is not easy; it is not convenient. It does not come with the guarantee that I am going to be here tomorrow or that you will always be here. When you love somebody, they can break your heart in a thousand pieces, but at the end of the day, as long as you put all the pieces back together and you choose to put them back together and pick up whatās left of your heart and start over again, thatās what makes love so special.
The thing about love is, it is not easy. But thatās what Iāve learned from my own experiences, and also with my parents and with friends, and now the person that I love is myself.
Love is a choice, because when you lose somebody you love, itās because you chose to let them go. Itās not always easy, but if you can tell yourself that there is another person out there for you and that this person will make your life worth living, then you can choose to love again.
You choose who you love. And if you choose to love somebody unconditionally, then thatās a choice that you make. Thatās why itās so specialā because people donāt always do that. In the end of the day, I put myself first in the things that I do and how I feel about myself. You have to love yourself before anyone else can truly love you and want to be with you and spend their time with you.

do you know what itās like to be so in love with your other half and you come home to the house yāall build a life together in and then have everything go downhill? the āhi honey iām home!ā with hugs and kisses from not seeing each other from working all day becomes coming home and receiving no type of love or affection at all? from what used to be a happy home is now broken and empty. i fell in love with a guy who made me feel exceptional. like i was a rare beauty, a one of a kind. he gave a special kind of love. he taught me a special kind of love. and for that, i will always look at love differently. he gave me everything iāve ever wanted. a love i had forgotten existed, a happy home, and a life iāve always dreamed of having with a partner. itās been so hard to deal with this because i feel so alone. the person who iāve loved and cherish is no longer connected to me. he stopped choosing me. he stopped making me happy and excited and stopped making me feel loved and cared for. i was merely a body to him. a body to have to hold or touched or kissed when it was convenient for him. i wasnāt anything more than that anymore. i was his financial tree where he depended on me for everything including bills. he decreased my value of a good woman. i didnāt mind it at first because i loved him. i would do anything to keep him happy. but when i started to notice i wasnāt anything but that, i realized that i am worth much more than a body and a financial tree. i deserved better. i deserved the kind of love that happens in movies or in fairytales. i love him. God i love him. but i feel ourselves disconnecting emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. iāve been thinking about the first time he moved into my place and how iād make the perfect housewife. i would cook him home cooked meals, i would clean, and iād do everything a housewife would. but as any relationship, our boat began to sink as days went by. which made me less and less motivated to become the housewife i always talked about being. maybe if i kept being the housewife and kept cooking and cleaning and doing anything to keep him happy, maybe weād still be here. maybe weād still share a life together. maybe things would be different. but since everything is falling apart right in front of my eyes, i have no control over it but to let it happen. and as much as i want to continue our relationship outside of this place, i donāt have it in me to love him anymore. itās becoming a full-time occupation to maintain a stabilized relationship. i love him more than anything in this world and i would do anything to keep us from dying. but when you forget to water and nurture a plant, it begins to wither and eventually die and what do you do when something like that dies? you move on and replace it. but i could never replace him. he became the one i never want to live without. but as most relationships fail and die, so will ours. so iām finally going to throw in the towel and put us on the shelf. because when we dated the first time around, i was naive and clueless. he was my first boyfriend after josh. but we didnāt work out. and then life gave us a second chance to see if whatās meant to be will be. and sadly, this was our second chance that wonāt make it. this is God telling us we werenāt made for each other and itās time to move on. because weāve lived the relationship as much as we could but we are just not meant to be. i have loved him with the best and worst of me and although it wasnāt enough for him, i did everything i could to love him. if he only knew how much he truly meant to me, that would be enough for me. to walk away from someone who youāre still in love with is hard but when walking away is your only option, you have to do whatās best for you. to my deepest love, my corey ivan, thank you for an incredible yet traumatizing love i have ever experienced. you will always be my love. take care of yourself. and i hope maybe in another lifetime we could work out and do better. i love you always āļøļø
The Day I Stopped Choosing You
In choosing you, I stopped choosing myself.
I chose you.
Every single moment for seventy fucking days, I chose to love you. To believe you. To forgive you. To embrace you.
I chose to stand by you even when times got tough and nearly unbearable. Even when I had lost nearly everything and knew I probably should stop. I kept choosing you.
Maybe I thought that you would change. That thing would get better. Maybe I just had nobody else and an incredibly low self-esteem. Something that you constantly reminded me. Maybe I just wanted you to fucking choose me back. Just one time. Once.
If I walked away, I had nothing. Except for wasted time and a broken heart. This had to be worth it, I thought to myself. You had to be worth it. I saw something that nobody else saw. I knew you. Right?
But I ignored everything. I dismissed red flags and deal breakers and all the standards I had made for myself. I found myself making up excuses for you, being too understanding. Caving and bending and breaking every step of the way.
Why I stopped choosing?
In choosing you, I begin to stop choosing me. I stopped choosing the things that I loved, the people that I loved. Choosing you was all-consuming. It took everything inside me to do it. To continue to love you and stick around every single day. I lost myself. And then I started to believe that I didnāt have a choice anymore. Loving you was the only thing I had, and I couldnāt give that up, too.
So I stayed. I stayed much longer than I should and much longer than I wanted. I ignored family and friends telling me to leave, to get out, to choose myself. How could I do that to you? I thought that I was helping you, fixing you. This was my only purpose in the world: choosing you. You had slowly convinced me that I deserved it all. I deserved you and the pain and the choice of choosing somebody who never chooses you back. Nobody would ever choose me, you said.
I was lucky.
Wondering if your partner stopped choosing you? Watch can we choose to fall out of love
But today is the day that I stop choosing you.
I deleted all the pictures of you from my phone. The happy times that never seemed to last. I watched as our smiling faces disappeared, and I cried at how it was possible to both love and hate somebody. There were so many good memories mixed in with the bad. There was so much longing and desire still left, but also so much pain. Unbearable amounts of pain.
I never wanted to stop choosing you. Even as I type these words, my heart aches. For you. For us. For you to just finally choose me back. And I wonder how long it will feel like this. I imagine time will dull the discomfort, make life a little more tolerable.
Every day that I stop choosing you, I will start choosing me. I will choose my children and my business and my school and my writing. I will choose to remember what I love about myself and perhaps begin to fall in love with life again.
Every moment that I donāt choose you, I will get stronger. Happier. Wiser. I will realize that I made the right choice, and I will continue to make it until I find somebody new to choose. Somebody to love me the way that I deserve. The way that I have always deserved but never really knew.
The day I stopped choosing you will, one day, be a distant memory. But for now, for the moment, it will be a sad, emotional day that I wish was not happening.
be kind, always

Iām here for the girls who started out as overly invested straight allies. Iām here for the girls who kissed other girls as a joke/when they were drunk/to piss people off. Iām here for the girls who didnāt realize they liked girls and kept dating boys. Iām here for the girls who like girls and still date boys. Iām here for the girls who donāt have a romantic or traumatic coming out story. Iām here for the girls who realized āoh fuck, maybe Iām just actually gayā and life went on as usual. Iām here for the girls who think they arenāt valid because hey donāt have enough gay experiences. You are real and you are beautiful and I love you.
to the one who broke my heart, part II
These are not just the words; these hold a piece of my pain and also my faith that addresses the fragmented piece of my heart. Here, I will convey the emotion of a young independent woman who rips through a man who convinced her to always be taken care of. The hope instilled inside a girl who built up wall after wall that was peacefully torn down by a man who pulled her into his deep love.
I still remember our late night conversation, your promises. You treated me in a way that stirred a place inside my soul that I hadnāt know existed. I was above all in your life. The first one to share your life with.
But things donāt work in the same way always, we entered into moment after moment when your ears become deaf to the sound of my voice, when you became insensible to the thoughts that emerged inside your head, when you blocked the pathways of your hearts, when I became unreachable to you; the very first place get cornered; the last one to talk about.
I am still struggling to gulp it down.
You told me that you loved me and I believed you. But you are not the same man, but to you, I am still crying the same words. I bulwarked and grappled to show the āreal meā. But the coziness you brought me in allowed me to open up to my feelings.
You were like an ordinary average man, but a serene, surreal essence of your being captivated my senses and it began to drag me towards you.
āItās amazing how we think we know someone and still donāt know them at allā
At some point in our relationship, I didnāt feel like I was good enough for someone as amazing as you. In my eyes, you were the man every girl ever dreamed of.
Giving you my all was not easy for me, I always believed everyone come in life to leave, I try not to love so hard because when they finally do, it wouldnāt be too painful for me, yet I allowed my emotional walls to scattered for you.
Love is not something that is spoken with the words, sometimes itās an emotion, a feeling that should be felt by heart and every time a fair understanding, and a strong sense of freedom. Itās a complete package of a happy, beautiful life.
Itās not easy to love a strong woman, she needed to be taken care of. I was not expecting a bunch of roses every Sunday on my doorstep, but a shoulder to lean when I am in need of you, a hand to hold me tightly when everything seems gloomy around me, a voice that sound appeasing amid the chaos, little concern to make me realize that I am not alone in scary nights.
Sometimes in life, you need to be rational and sometimes you need to allow emotions to take over you. Your reactions were the outcome your situation that you well defined in a series of reasons, these were valid too, but giving you a second chance will be unfair to my heart that now cannot endure the further pain of letting go.
I am not saying you were wrong, neither am I a portrait of righteous. There is no one to blame. Sometimes, things just slip off our hand when we lose control in the dilemma of life.
For somedays, I was trying to make sense of the whole situation, I was trying to address my madness with a rational approach. But when it comes to heart and feelings nothing seems to work. Instead of fighting, with my emotions, I embraced them. I surrendered to the pain.
You have made your priorities in which our love was placed at bay. Now, itās my time to set my life up for me.
I wonāt call you a mistake, it was a lesson that I well learned. And for that, I will not be the same again.
āMaybe one day weāll meet again, when we are slightly older and our minds less hectic, and Iāll be right for you and youāll be right for me. But right now I am chaos to your thoughts and you are poison to my heart.ā
to the one who broke my heart, part I
To the one who broke my heart, but also made it feel whole at one point, hereās all the things I wish I could have said, and all the things you probably didnāt know, but should.
Before I met you, I was in a dark place. And so were you. We were both two lost souls who somehow found each other, and suddenly life started to feel great again. We connected in a way that seemed almost unreal. Our chemistry was so intense, and I felt that I have found my soulmate. My life felt so incomplete, that when I met you, all the love I had in my heart that had nowhere to go, I gave them all to you.
And for a brief moment, I know you loved me too. I know that when you said you havenāt loved anyone the way you loved me, that you meant it. I know because I could see it in your eyes. You looked at me in a way that no one has ever looked at me before. I could hear it in your voice too. And for a brief moment, everything was right, and everything was perfect.
But it felt too good to be true, because as it turns out, it was.
Reality kicked in and life got in the way.
Maybe it was timing, thatās what we try to tell ourselves anyway. But maybe the truth is, maybe we just werenāt right for each other. And maybe, just maybe, we were meant to cross paths together, but not to be together, but to learn from each other. Maybe, we were meant to take all the lessons that weāve learned, so that we can be ready for the person who comes next, the one thatās meant for us.
I want to say that no matter the reasons why, no matter whose fault it was, no matter all the arguments and the tears and the heartbreak, I still want to say thank you.
Thank you for all the times that you made me smile.
Thank you for showing me a whole other world that I didnāt knew existed. For opening my eyes to things I didnāt know possible. For teaching me things about myself that I didnāt even know about.
Thank you for telling me each time I was wrong. And thank you for allowing me to try and make it right. Thank you for motivating me to become a better person, and for believing that I was better than my mistakes.
Most of all, thank you for teaching me what itās like to truly love someone.
I donāt know where you are, or who youāre with, or what youāre doing, but one thing I do know is that whatever happens in our own lives, the love that we shared together will always be cherished, and it will never go away. A part of you will always be with me, and maybe one day, Iāll even tell my grandkids about you. Maybe I can tell them the story of how you were part of the reason that made me who I am, and that if it wasnāt for you, I wouldnāt have become the person sitting right in front of them. And maybe I can teach them that two people can love each other, but not be together.
My dad took me for an audition once, to show me, OK, you want to be a child actor, this is what its like. I sang a folk song about donkeys on this West End stage with this big director, and there was a queue of 200 girls all singing Memory. I was terrible. Terrible.
