The Pickup

<p>Nick </p><p>Somebody once said we don't decide who we love. The world decides for us. But I disagree. I believe love is a decision. Who we love how we love. It's in our control--in our hands.</p><p><br></p><p>I grew up having no clue about the true meaning of love. Money. Cars. Houses. Status. Fame. That's what love means to the people around me.</p><p><br></p><p>It wasn't until the woman I picked up in a bar came back into my life and showed me love can be so much more.</p><p><br></p><p>So what's the problem?</p><p>The woman I'm falling in love with believes in fairytales. She compares everything to a storybook and wants the happily-ever-after.</p><p><br></p><p>So while she's stuck on recreating stories that have already been told page by page I'm showing her it's time we write our own book.</p><p><br></p><p>Nobody ever said the journey of falling in love would be easy just that it would be worth it. </p><p><br></p>
