LOVE is a choice.

There has been a saying.

LOVE IS NOT  BY CHOICE. 

But i guess, what is not by choice, is who attracts you, who you yearn to see and makes you happier when you do.
But that's affection, that's infactuation, that's not love.

To me, love happens beyond the infactuation period. where you still choose to stick with someone despite seeing he is after all, a human be-ing with his flaws.
BUT.
you choose to see beyond them, or you choose to stick by them, despite these flaws.

fact of life, no one is perfect.
one may however seem to be, on a personal preference.
but even despite so, there will be glitches, now and then.

I once came across this quote:

The beauty of love, is in staying together, despite the imprefections.

And that itself, is a choice to be made.
To stay together, to accept each other's imperfections, & to be the best that you can be for your partner, just because, you know he chose to do likewise for you too-- to love you.

I don't know where this sudden thought came by me.
but it did and i decided to blog about it. to serve as a reminder for myself too.
last night, out of boredom, i was randomly stalking people on instagram.
& i ended up stalking my bf's ex.
whats worse is i accidentally liked her photo (OMG RIGHT!:O YES KILL ME PLEASE)
but yeah, and i went to announce this stupidity of mine to my guy friend nelson (whom i thought is able to relate well with this retardation of mine, cos he often find himself in this kind of situation when he stalks others too)
but urgh. what he replied me was a simple " wah she chio anot"
and so i showed him her picture and he went "wah chio leh"
& not that its a mega huge deal or whatever, but i still felt alittle sour in me.
WELL, why am i ranting about this, it's cos!
this incident was what made a thought came random to my mind just as i was heading to bed last night.
 & that is, that i was not the only one that made the decision to be with Darren, and to love him.
he too,  chose me. out of the many other girls out there,possibly of a higher caliber than me, he chose me, & promised to stick by me, despite my apparent flaws.

This reminded me to remain appreciative of his love, and his presence, & not get too used and take them for granted.
