Novel & Cerita Is Loving Someone A Choice

Her eyes were wet. "Before you, I didn't know what love was. I thought it was possession. Control. Loyalty bought with fear. You taught me differently. You showed me that love is a choice. Daily. Hourly. In every moment, choosing each other over fear, over doubt, over the ghosts of the past." I squeezed her hands. "I choose you, Alexandra. Today. Tomorrow. Every day after. Not because I have to. Because I want to. Because you are my family. My home. My heart."

"Lucas, I'm really sorry-" "Don't be," he cupped my face and forced me to look at him. "What are you blaming yourself for now, huh? Loving is a choice, Irene and I kept choosing you every time. It was my decision to make and I love you so much. I want you so bad." Our heads touched and I dragged in a ragged breath.

And it’s more than Sophie could ever understand. Inside the house, Serena has left a note on the kitchen counter.

Clinton had saved me that night, even getting injured in the process. Out of guilt, I had taken care of him for two months as he recovered. Somewhere along the way, I'd fallen in love with him without realizing it. But at that time, his heart had belonged to Gemma Walken. Clinton had rejected me more than once. He would say, "Suzy, helping you was my choice. If it had been any other girl that night, I'd have done the same thing." I would shake my head and say tearfully, "Clinton, I love you. I'm certain it's not out of guilt."

The specific feeling of someone who had spent their entire adult life building something solid and self sufficient and entirely their own and had discovered that choosing someone deliberately did not take any of that away. It added to it. That was the thing I had been most wrong about. I had spent twenty seven years believing that needing someone meant losing something. That love was a subtraction.

If you truly loved Michael, you would have allowed him to make his own choices and express his own feelings. Love doesn't thrive on manipulation or deception."

he pointed out, and his words hit me harder than he probably intended. I moved back in my seat, feeling defensive. Of course I loved Evan. "Who are you to psychoanalyze my love life? You, who can’t be faithful? You, who plays with everyone’s feelings." "The difference between you and me, April, is that you have a choice when it comes to marriage, and you’re choosing to be with a man you don’t love. A man you secretly loathe." "What makes you think that?" I asked softly. He touched the side of my face. "I’m not saying this to hurt your feelings.

We show him the thousands of tiny, conscious choices—to be patient when we are tired, to be kind when we are angry, to stay when every instinct screams to run from the sheer, terrifying responsibility of him. We show him that it is work. Hard, unending work. And we show him that we choose it. Gladly. We would choose it over a thousand fated, easy loves. We let him feel the volcanic, undeniable truth: that a love born of choice is not a weaker love. It is a stronger one. It is a love that has been tested, and has chosen to hold on. It is a love that looks into the abyss of other options, other easier, quieter lives, and says no. This one. This child. This man. This life.
