Love Is Always A Choice

Everyday you make the decision to love somebody

Love Is Always A Choice
K. Caskey

Every single day, we must make choices. We have to choose which outfit to wear, which route to take to work, or which restaurant to eat at for supper. We must also choose how we treat the people around us. It doesn't matter if our days are good or bad, we always have a choice in the way we act towards someone. The same goes for loving somebody. We can either choose to walk away, or love somebody no matter what.

The reason relationships in our generation don't work out, is because people give up when things go wrong. This can be the case for either a partner relationship, family relationship, and even a friend relationship.

To my parents and sister, thank you for choosing to love me since the day I was born. I know it's a parent's job to love their kids, but day in and day out, you have always chose to show me love. You have always supported me and the choices I've made. There's been times you have let me fall, so I could stand back up. To me, that's some of the best love there is. Through it all, you have chosen to love me for who I am. There were days you showed me love was sometimes all you needed.


To my boyfriend, thank you for choosing to love me when I couldn't love myself. You always have loved me for every mistake I've made, and for all the times I've tested you. I have tested your patience, your understanding, and even your love. However, through it all you have always chose to love me for me. You chose to love me somedays without me giving anything in return. You have helped me see love like I never have before.

To my friends, thank you for accepting me right away. You chose to love me from the very beginning without any judgement. That's why we have such good relationships. Y'all have always shown me love through your care and actions, and have chosen to love me when I've had a bad college day. (Let's be honest we all have those days).

I'll be the first to admit that when we get wronged or hurt by someone, it's not easy to love somebody for it. That's why day in and day out, we have to choose to love people. I mean, if these people would have chosen not to, I would have lost some great people. That's why everyday, I continue to choose to love those in my life. However it is also important to choose to love everyone you come into contact with, everyday. It can make the biggest difference. It has the potential to change the world. I mean those choosing to love me and me choosing to love them has changed my life.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
