chances becoming choices...

when we meet the right person to love when we're at the right place at the right time... others call it destiny... i say it is chance...

when i meet someone i am attracted to, that's not a choice... that's chance... being caught up in a moment (and there's a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice... that's also a chance.

but can chance turn out to be a choice also in th end? what makes chance a choice?

the difference is what happens afterward...

when you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to something committal... when reality sets back after ideals... moments after contemplation and you decide to elevate into a concrete relationship or just a fling... chance then becomes choice...

If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that's not chance... that's choice... when you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that's choice... even if you know there are far better people out there who may just be houses or buildings away and yet, you decide to love someone distant and challenging just the same, that's choice...

Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by chance... but true love that lasts is truly a choice... a choice that we make...

and in life, some people are chances... some are choices... but a few can be chances becoming choices...

after our series of chat last night, i then realize what it truly means when i feel i want to love him... my angel was a chance who is now a choice.
