from "Love and Other Disasters"...
Stop living your life like you're in some kind of movie. Stop trying to cast your love instead of just meeting him. Love isn't always a lightning bolt, you know? Maybe sometimes it's just a choice. Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody. Without worrying wether they'll give anything back. Or if they're gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn't something that happens to you. Maybe it's something you have to choose.
