One cannot force love to happen, any more than one can maintain a relationship that one party has given up on. It takes commitment to keep it healthy, patience to allow it to unfold, and most of all, acceptance of the other person to make it bloom.
It is true that time isn't the linear contraption that we are taught it is, but instead it is a sequence of circle parts, where every decision we make leads us onto a new circle segment. Small decisions will be like circles with a small radius, whereas larger decisions tend to put us on larger circle segments that have the potential to take us away from our comfort zone far more effectively.
And of course these decisions are like a switch from one reality to another. Your large decisions switch you over to a new target or point of reference, and its gravity will pull start pulling you in, slowly at first, but ever faster.
