For Alex and I, love is a choice, not something we feel deep inside, or butterflies in our stomach, and so on! The idea that “love is a choice rather than a feeling” emphasizes the proactive, intentional aspects of love rather than just its emotional or spontaneous components, and in my opinion, it makes it way more real and beautiful by definition!

Love as a choice encourages personal growth. It involves self-reflection and a willingness to adapt and improve oneself for the sake of the relationship. Relationships inevitably face challenges, especially in a band where we’re always digging for truth, for what’s real, for honesty and greatness. Viewing love as a choice means actively working through difficulties rather than giving up when feelings vanish.
