Shocking revelation:
Contrary to popular belief, the heart does NOT have your best interest in mind. The heart is naive, foolish and far too spontaneous for our own good. I lobby for the all too cliche term “follow your heart” to ultimately suffer the rebranding of “proceed with caution”. I firmly believe this despite my distaste for its accuracy. My only solace can be found in the notion that knowledge is power and intelligence on this matter serves to protect me from my hearts own selfish and emotionally taxing ambitions. To heal will require time and patience and the unfortunate presence of pain. But to what manuscript of experience do I refer to in an attempt to leash my heart and muzzle its thirst for red herrings of Love?
