Choosing Love
“If I had the choice to love three seconds before I die or
live forever, I'd love you for three seconds and an eternity later.” -

There are many types of love, and yeah, a lot of people know
about them, but we are going to work on they type that is the most special,
Agape love. Agape love according to the
Greeks is selfless, unconditional love.
This kind of love isn’t just emotional, its active too. Agape love is unconditional, doesn’t seek
self, is sacrificial, true, and most of all holy. This kind of love is the greatest of
all.
Now I go into talking about Agape because on Sunday, March 4th, 2018 I chose to propose to a woman that has rocked my
world everyday from the day that we met.
She has truly had my heart, even before I knew it. As any person out there knows about the
nervousness that goes into planning a proposal, you know what you are asking
for when you propose, and you want it to be perfect, because Agape Love is
perfect. When you’re planning the
proposal, you are planning the worst, but hoping for the best. You know that you are asking for her hand in
marriage, asking for her to take your last name, your life, your everything,
and so much more that you can and will choose to give unconditionally. You are making the choice to get into a commitment
that will span the course of many, many lifetimes. You are choosing Love when you plan a
proposal, and ultimately to go through with it.
"Love isn't just those words we said
It's something that we do."
Love is a choice, it’s an emotion, it’s a feeling, but it’s
actions, it’s words, it all sorts of things to many different people. To me, it’s all the above. Love is something that changes, it grows, it
develops, it is unconditional, self-sacrificing, it’s dancing in the rain with someone, it’s getting up at 3 AM
to talk to that person because they had a nightmare, it’s arguing to prove that
your point might be better, it’s holding that person when they’re crying,
wiping those tears away, it’s reassuring them that they have nothing to be
afraid of when they are feeling insecure, it’s knowing that when you wake up
and go to sleep every day and every night that she will be there, it’s knowing that
heart pounding, butterflies in your stomach that never go away. Love is helping her back up when she is down,
lifting her up higher when she is doing awesome. Love is sooooo many things to me but plain
and simple, Love is Love, and I choose to Love.
So here is to the next chapter in our love story, My sweet Fiance
Daisie.
