Mechanisms of the heart and mind

When you look inside your heart what does it look like?

Is it soft, big and receiving?

Or cold, shriveled up and retreating?

Do we surround our hearts and minds, and make them impenetrable like a metal spike?

Why do we always over analyze and rationalize certain situations?

When in fact those are the hearts stations

It is true we can be reckless in love

But if we truly knew the meaning of love it would no longer be true

People always talk about love

It’s not something that can be easily described or easily felt

But it is a possibility we have to be open to

Pessimism is a guard mechanisms that helps us get through disappointments

Because in our minds we had expected it and made its appointments

Optimism keeps hope alive

And accumulates the hurt in which hope helps a person do a deep dive

No matter the mechanism

Two things can be sure

There are only to options to every decision

You either live life or be dead inside as you live

You either hold on or you move on

You either push away or let people pull you in

You either hold a grudge or you let it go

Someone once told me self preservation gives you longer life

Well I say, what’s the point of living longer if you didn’t know how to live in the first place?

These are mechanisms of the heart and mind
