These days I'm having to be very careful that I keep close watch over my emotional attachments and affections, too aware that they could lead to romantic love as opposed to platonic love; and given that I believe this would be a set up for unrequited pain, I'm being very diligent. Gotta watch my internal monologue and story-making so as not to encourage that.

I think I'm answering my own question though, about whether or not love is a choice. And I think I'm in a position to say that it is.

Although I recognize that I might just be self-deceiving on some level, that maybe subjugation isn't the same as choosing against a romantic attachment. But whatever I'm doing is currently efficacious, so this pleases me.

Score one for self control.
