#heart vs mind

[screaming--agony]

Dear Diary,

I’m just not worth the effort I guess.

[creatingnikki]

I wanted to tell you I love you. But no words came out. I wanted to write about everything I had been through this year. But the truth didn't spill. I'm containing it all for now. Why? Is it weakness? Self preservation? Confusion? Fear? Anger? I honestly do not know. When it comes to you and when it comes to this year, there is not much I know with objectivity. And I'm trying to not think with my feelings. Feelings are beautiful when felt but disastrous when followed as the north star. Maybe that, that is perhaps the biggest lesson of 2023. My feelings for you led me to abandon my values. Your feelings for me made me be okay with that. Feelings feelings feelings. Most times fickle, many times foul. But that's not even the issue with feelings. Feelings are fleeting. And I want to rely on more fundamental and foundational things. Let my feelings exist to be felt fully. Let my feelings exist to be written about beautifully and truly. Let my feelings exist to remind me I am human, to remind me I am alive. And yet let my lessons, my values, my strategic mind guide my decisions from here on out. Because if it were left up to my feelings? I'd be in your house smoking my third cigarette in between kisses telling each other how much we've missed this. And that is not something I am going to allow anymore. That's my mind looking out for me. That is my soul whispering the path forward. This time I will listen. Let my feelings only feel.

Each time you open your mouth you inform others of your state of mind and the condition of your heart.

[quillandquotation]

My heart, starved for love, craves yours, even if it means mistaking your kindness for something deeper as I find myself lost in the desert of loneliness, I reach for any oasis, unsure if it's a mirage or a wellspring of your affection

I Prevail - My Heart I Surrender

Sometimes the heart needs a reality check.

When the heart is on the slippery slope, there is no stopping it.

Dear Diary,

I don’t care anymore. Nothing changes.

heart vs mind

―――

There was a battle between my mind and heart

They fought and fought and fought

They both were stubborn

Mind said 'How long are you gonna get hurt?'

Heart said 'Just this once, I promise this is the last'

That wasn't the last

it was a loop that the heart didn't want to break

When my heart got so hurt that it didn't want to make the decision

Mind did it, for the better, better for both of them, better for me and you

When my heart realized what was happening 

It cried and cried and cried

Fought with mind 

Begging for just one more chance

However this time mind was set 

It said 'Don't worry, whatever will happen it will happen for the best'

And the heart which was tired, hurt, lost

Complied with sadness.

Tumne kuchh khaya !!?

Raat ko thik se soye , pese chahiye toh nahi

Aesa har sawal pucha mene ?

Aadhi raat ko phone pe tumhe sambhalne se leke , din mai tumhe rijhane tak, har chhoti baat pe tumhe manane tak , bacho ki tarah tumhe chup karane tak , vo sindur jo mere hisse hi kabhi nhi aaya uska har farz toh mene tha nibhaya 🥀..

4 saalo mein jo haq tumne mujhe kabhi nhi diya , vo 4 mahino mein kisi orr ko dediya 💔

Khair chhodo Mubarak ayaashi ho tumhe orr usse tum , mera ishq ab sirf mera rahega 🤍

I always thought that guarding your heart meant impenetrable walls. I’m often good at imagining my own defenses, and so I thought it would be like steel beams encasing my heart once I was hurt too much.

It isn’t - not for everyone, that is. Sometimes protecting your heart is simply about, well…protecting it. My mind stands in front of my heart with a hand in front of it and evaluates all threats. My mind is an overprotective mother in a city with a 7 year old child
