Chances and Choices
Got this in an email from my sis. It kinda clarifies my doubts about True Love.
"when we meet the right person to love, when we're at the right place, 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 are a lot of couples 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 infactuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level? that's when all sanity goes back: 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 faults, that's not a chance. that's choice.
when you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that's choice. even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that's choice. infactuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by chance. but true love that lasts is truly a choice. a choice we make.
regarding soul mates, there's a beautiful movie quote that i believe so true about this: fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen. i do believe that soulmates do exists. 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 soulmates by chance, but loving and staying with our soulmate 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. love is beautiful, isn't it? it's all about a matter of choice sometimes and not the questioning of our ability to do something. to me, lust and feelings don't last forever, only the committment we pledge and prove lasts. (reminder: that is only when u decided that you'll wanna love that person.)"

yes, life is full of choices. We make them every now and then, big and small. And we learnt from each choices. So always remember, if you don't choose, you never know whether you make the right choice!
