If it comes back to you, it is yours. If not, it was never meant to be." I think that this quote can be looked at in various perspectives. I personally feel that love is an unselfish affection. If you really love a person, you try to encourage their personal growth. You don't try to conform/change them to what you feel they should be. And in many cases this takes quite a bit of sacrificing. I don't believe that love is putting a strong hold on another person. love is voluntary, love is freedom(let's be realistic, I don't mean free to have an entourage of lovers). If you HAVE TO impose constraints, force a person to conform, is it worth it??? My personal opinion, Cheryl Harris
