A lot of people haven't been very enthusiastic over my long distance relationship with a guy I barely know. If I were in their position, I'd be worried and pessimistic too. True, there are moments when I think things through and realize that this relationship does not make a lot of sense. How can I, eternal critic of all things and everybody that can be criticized, be in a relationship with somebody who is not at all my type of guy... in a kind of relationship that is something I used to frown on. I must admit, there are moments when breaking up seems to be the better, saner option. And it is. But for now, I choose this. I choose to be in the relationship because despite everything, I have matured because of it. I have learned things about myself and about loving that I didn't know before. Falling in love is not a choice, it's a feeling we can't avoid or force ourselves into. I have felt it before and it has done me no good. This time around I didn't fall in love. I chose to love. He might not be the perfect guy, might not be…
