Which one do you listen to? I was always told growing up follow your heart, for the heart knows best. So I listened and always followed my heart. Now in the last couple years I learned "wow the heart gets you hurt"! I've ended up in so many situations where my heart told me "Hey you can definitely save this person, who cares about their past just fucking do it"! So again I did, my heart has led me to some bad decisions, putting myself in danger to help anyone.. So I thought enough was enough. I tried to listen to my head instead, I thought it would be less painful, less bad decisions, less loss. I was wrong, I actually got hurt more. I went through many trials of growing through these years and I've decided at this point in time I'm still gonna follow my heart, because I must say this last time it was right, and even when its wrong its right. It may not be the same for others and maybe its because i grew up being told to follow my heart but despite the pain I will continue to do so!

I always say follow your gut. The Heart and Brain, while well meaning, have their own misguided agenda. However, your gut, the center between the two, is where your instincts come from and is far more dependable and reliable in tough situations.
