is love an emotion, or a choice?

What?
An experienced view of the nature of a relationship and how it holds up in the different stages of our life.

Who?
Any individual who goes through every facet of a relationship with another individual would sooner or later come to the crossroad of taking the next step of a lifetime of commitment or split away and not taking the risk. This is one particular view of how and why relationship work between boyfriend and girlfriend or even married couples and how they could split apart.

How?
It is a matter of choice when the novelty values of love starting to wear off and the other half's quirks and negative traits would be a hindrance and a detriment to the relationship. It won't always be rosy since realistically every human is flawed in their own way and when our own emotions stop from clouding our view and judgement of others, would you be able to accept them as they are and try to do your best to make it work with each other?

Why?

When you stop viewing everything with your own swaying feelings instead of with a logical mind which would (hopefully) come with age and learn from experience, being more matured instead of childish or immature that would see the failed relationship on a face value rather than trying to at least gain something from it.

Then?

If you're involved as of this moment or hoping to be in one in the future, just keep in mind that how you're feeling initially should not be the sole measuring stick for the whole of the relationship but rather that it is something you should strive for to feel again and would be willing to work together for it to come again.

So?
Try to find your other half that would be willing to commit as much as you would in a lifetime of being by your side.

Lesson Learned:

"Do not trust how you are feeling for someone to last but rather willing to work for it to last."
