Heart VS Mind

“You keep telling yourself that until you actually believe it"

My mom and I were having a girl-to-girl talk about relationships and as such until my usual overthinking mind, started being inquisitive with thoughts such as: what if you are tired already? What if your mind and your heart’s in a constant argument between on who to follow? What if you do not really know what to do and where to go? It is such a long list of what ifs that made me have the urge to actually start blogging…just to have some sort of “my-own-little-corner” wherein I would actually be free enough to say what I think and what I feel, which then leads to my very first topic…the heart vs the mind.

The human body is composed of cells, tissues and organs but the human life is composed of thoughts, feelings, ideas and experiences. The human heart supplies blood, oxygen and mainly life throughout the body but more than its biological function, it is assigned a much heavier list of tasks. The human heart is responsible of premature ventricular contractions that occur whenever some sort of ecstasy occurs when a person feels special, moreover loved. It is responsible for holding up emotions that cannot be expressed through the eyes or through the mouth. It is responsible for all the bottled up emotions that do not know when to release themselves. So the heart actually appears to be extremely amazing despite its size compared to all the other organs..but then comes the mind, the peculiar, often busy and usual foe of the heart. The mind that is responsible for questioning the feelings of the heart. It is responsible for all the memories and experiences that are worthy enough of remembering, but it is rarely in good terms with the heart.

A lot of people would say that the heart and the mind should work together, so that good decisions are made, but what if most of the time, they do not meet each other’s expectations? What if the heart cannot feel what the mind is made to believe? The mind chooses the memories that are worthy of remembering but the heart remembers the feelings involved with each memory, the essence, the aura of every little moment. The mind constantly reminds a person of what he or she should be doing and what he or she should believe, but the heart questions the mind and often chooses to go astray. Indeed, the confusion is a never-ending cycle up until questions are answered, expectations are met and beliefs are made into reality. The never-ending argument of the mind and the heart may be tiring at times. It may lead one to insanity and it may even question one’s faith, but in rare cases…rare, special and important cases the mind meets the feelings of the heart and the heart meets the beliefs of the mind, and in cases as such, the person is only left with one thing to do…and that leads to action, but until then it is either the  mind is forced to follow the heart because, it has not made a right decision yet or the heart is made to believe something that it cannot take, because it is the only choice left.
