Love is a choice. (impromptu speech)

You see, the best thing about wrong decisions is that they don’t prevent you from making the right decisions later on. It’s harder, but it’s not impossible.

- Not That Kinda Girl, by Siobhan Vivian

I quoted this at the beginning of my 2-3 minute impromptu speech for Comm3 last Tuesday. I wanted to blog about it on Tuesday night, but I eventually decided not to. But we watched the video of our speeches in class this afternoon, so I decided then that I could blog about it now. Hahaha.

My topic was: Love is a choice. I’m not going to blog my whole speech, because it sucked. My main point was this:

When a relationship that was once good turns bad, you can’t blame anyone but yourself. Nobody forces you to fall in love, but it’s always you who decides to make something more out of that feeling and make it more than JUST a feeling. You learn from this relationship, and when you get into a new relationship, then you know who, when, where, how (and why?) to love. This, I think, is where love becomes a choice. After that first bad relationship, you become stronger, and you learn things. You are able to choose and decide for yourself what you want in, for, and from a relationship. 

Did that make any sense? Haha. But yes, that was the gist of my speech. I was horrified when I watched the video. Kept looking down at my notes, and messy hair is messy. And poofy. Ugggh, why didn’t I tie my hair that dayyyyy! :| 

P.S. I didn’t even know that’s how my voice sounds when I speak! And while I was delivering my speech, I swear I thought I was speaking too slow, so I might have sped up a little to get to the point. Apparently I was talking a little too fast. I didn’t even know I could talk that fast. asdfghjkl why do I suck in public speaking! :(
