I am choosing to accompany you on every adventure because I know you sometimes feel lonely and I do not ever want you to feel alone. I am choosing to explore your favorite restaurants with you because I know your love language is quality time. to watch the sunrise because I want to know why you like sunrises so much. I am choosing to wake up every day at 4 a.m. I am choosing to heal so that you do not have to carry my baggage - my doubts and fears. I am choosing to heal my jaded edges and the damage that has been left by others because I want to be able to choose you full-heartedly. I am choosing to be vulnerable and to let someone into my guarded, taped-up heart. I am choosing to choose you because my heart knows I got lucky with this one. No matter what skeletons are in your closet - worst fears, insecurities, or doubts - I am still going to choose you. I am choosing to trust that you will remain loyal and that you will not intentionally hurt me. I am choosing to place my heart in your hands and hoping you will not break it. I am choosing to let you in regardless of what my past has taught me. I am choosing to love you despite how afraid my heart is. Therefore, love is a choice and I am choosing to be with you. A relationship cannot be defined by something as unpredictable as your feelings or your emotions in the moment. Feelings are not a true source of support for you or your partner.

We are often taught that love is a feeling, but feelings are fleeting and unreliable.

You voluntarily choose them every second, every hour of the day.įairytales and storybooks have got it all wrong. If there is anything I have learned from meeting someone you love, it is that love becomes a choice.
