Falling in love is not a choice. Staying in love is a choice.

Romantically? I don’t suppose that there’s much choice to falling in love. But continuing to love someone once the honeymoon glow wears off, and it’s not always as happy and easy? I think that is, to some degree, a choice you make.

yes.

feelings are not love. the yare feelings. love is the actions you take.

I think the way conscious will and unconscious feelings interact is more complex than most recognize, and the language we have to talk about it is insufficient.

I heard that we’re genetically predisposed to find babies cute so we take care of them long enough to pass on our genes. Does that count?
