It's much closer to being a feeling than a choice. It can be a choice in edge cases like if the feelings are very close to being there anyway, but typically romantic feelings just either are there or aren't there. Passion declines over time but doesn't have to become platonic. You still have more sexual and romantic feelings towards your partner than you do towards others, and they still make you feel happy and safe and satisfied in a way that nobody else does.
But yeah, can't relate to the thing people say about it being a choice. You either like someone romantically or you don't. If the idea of being someone doesn't make you feel blissfully happy and like being with them will make everything in the world feel right, then don't be with them.

Yeah... I wonder about that sometimes. In some ways, Zoomers seem somewhat smarter than Millennials were. My teenage years both started and ended in the 2000s and kids my age were dumb in a Beavis and Butthead, cow chewing grass kind of way. Not much brain activity at all outside of cackling every three seconds, speaking in sentence fragments, and talking about the next concert or party.
Zoomers are definitely more engaged with politics and other high-scale worldly matters (in line with everyone in general nowadays being hyper-political) and focus on more higher-order things, whereas our day-to-day thinking in the 2000s was almost entirely insular and typically just us responding to our immediate sensory environment. Nobody at my high school would have given a shit about something like Gaza. I can only remember two times that I overheard classmates discuss politics at all - a bit of grumbling about George W. Bush winning again in 2004, and of course frequent discussion about 9/11 and Bin Laden in 8th grade in the immediate aftermath of the attacks... which even then was mostly just a late 2001 thing and didn't even survive into 2002.
I also think anti-intellectualism might have gone down in some ways. I watched Idiocracy the year after it came out. Some took it to be a future documentary (I know it wasn't one) but to me it just seemed like a depiction of the present. "You talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded" in response to a normal sentence was the 90s and 00s encapsulated. Very 2006 and also very 1996. I don't think modern day kids are as bad here... probably.
Not a Zoomer expert though. I know more about Gen X far as generations I don't belong to go (who I dislike a lot more than Gen Z). I could assume that Zoomers have their own set of problems, like struggling with full-length TV episodes, but even if they're dumber overall, that's because Millennials already had a very tiny buffer. We were dumb as shit back in our day.
