Love is a Choice: 30 Ways to Love in Action

This is really beautiful, but I don’t know that I agree with it entirely. I don’t know that I believe love to be that pure and idealistic. In fact, the more I think about this, the more I’m feeling irritated, like this article is judging me and telling me that I’m doing it all wrong  Well, you know what? Shit happens, and people give until they can’t give anymore.

What exactly does it mean to apologize and mean it?  What does it mean to forgive and mean it? For a long time, I focused on trying to make him happy. Now I want to focus on me and my needs. Yes, love is a choice but it’s not about endless giving– there are conditions; there are strings attached. This isn’t fucking Hollywood.
