Love: an act of will not of the heart

Love is a very complicated feeling to understand yet it is very simple. I think love is when you choose to love someone with all your heart. Too complicated isn’t it?
I consider love as both an act of will and of the heart. I won’t consider it love when your mind and heart does not agree in what they both feel. In loving, your actions are your choice, and you heart says what you should do. This is very hard for me to explain because I’m not sure if I ever loved or am loving someone. I just know one thing, whatever is this that I feel, this was my choice and my heart was the one who gave me this feeling. Since I am already struggling in explain my opinion, I’ll just tell you a little story. Once there was a girl, who protected her heart with a very thick metal. She never let anyone see what was really inside her heart. I can say that she was very good in this. you won’t appreciate this girl unless you seek out the real her. She never wanted someone to love her just because of reasons that can be explained by words. Silly girl! It would be very complicated for a guy to tell her about what he feels. Well, that is just one of her foolishness. She continued believing in her principles about love until a guy came in to her life; someone that she never expected. Slowly this girl was the one who opened her heart for this guy to see her. The thick metal that covered her heart slowly melted. Believe me, it was not that fast. The girl had many questions that troubled her. Her brain was over working. She had this question; Should I stick to my principles despite the risk of losing him? Will I love her with all my heart and not think about the future or should I protect myself from the hurt that I might experience and not fall too much (this would be a big hindrance for a relationship to succeed)? It took a long time for her to decide. And finally, these were her words, “I will love him with all my heart. I don’t care if I would get hurt. I’d rather get hurt than never get the chance to be happy with him. If I would get hurt, I know that he will be worthy of the tears that I will shed.” See? It was her choice. She had an option but she chose to be happy despite the risk of hurting herself. I guess that is part of loving someone, and that what makes love a once in a lifetime experience. If ever given the chance to love and be loved, don’t be afraid! I believe that the only thing that you will regret in this life would be the risk that you did not take.
