* Love Nest *

Wednesday, October 18, 2006

was clearing my mail box today when i came past this email which one of my senior sent to me quite some time ago.

figured that it's very apt.
hope you like it.

when we meet the right person to love
when we're at the right place at the right time
That's chance.

when you meet someone you're attracted to
that's not a choice
That's chance.

being caught up in a moment
(and there's alot of couple who get together because of this)
is not a choice
That's also a chance.

the difference is what happens afterwards
when will you take that infatuation,
that crush,
that mind-blowing attraction
to the next level?

that's when all sanity goes back
and you sit down and contemplate
whether you want to make this into
a concrete relationship
or just a fling.

if you decide to love a person
even with his/her faults
that's not chance
That's a choice.

when you choose to be with a person
no matter what
That's a choice.

even if you know that there are many people out there
who are much more attractive
smarter
and richer than your mate
and yet you decide to love your mate just the same
That's choice.

infatuation,
crushes,
attraction
comes to us by chance.

but the love that lasts is truly a choice
a choice that we make.

regarding soul mates;
there's a beautiful movie quote that i believe is so true about this:

"Fate brings you together
but it's still up to you to make it happen."

i do believe that soul mates do exist
that there is truly someone made for you

but it's still up to you to make the choice
if you're going to do something about it or not

we may meet our soul mates by chance
but loving and staying with our soul mate is still a choice we have to make

we came to the world not by finding someone perfect to love
but to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly.
