Have you felt like you, your mind and your heart are three separate entities?
I do though.
I feel they are separate from me and I argue with them. And often we can't come to an agreement. How did this happen - I do not know. While all this happens, I get more and more confused. I'm not saying that I get confused whether I want a piece of cake or pasta, accessorize more or none at all - I get by just fine with that stuff. Although I get overly irritated at times when I fumble over what movies or shows to watch - it's just my annoying little head carrying on too much burden than it's supposed to.
I have kept my life pretty simple up to this point. I don't like complications.
You might be wondering if my life is mundane and bland, and looks so unexciting that staring at an ant trail might be more fun. Many days go uneventful but I thank the high heavens for those blessed days. I have been around enough people who love to stir up drama just for the sake of boredom - yes, imagine, when an issue that can be solved by two minutes of peaceful talk gets ruined by one's hotheadedness and a penchant for theatrics. I'm surrounded by quite a few loud and obnoxious people that make me feel like a boring simple life is THE ultimate dream. I wonder if their hearts and minds agree on doing these things; maybe they do otherwise why the human would create the drama! Now that's what, I call, an accomplishment because having them both agree on something is not an easy feat.

I'm sure one's mind and heart don't always bicker with one another and perhaps often agree with some major decisions that a person makes. But now I realize the battle between heart and mind when they're singing two different tunes. While the two are arguing with one another, who's listening in to the conversation? Of course, my "self" is paying attention to all the finer details that both of them are presenting. Often the battle takes place because both of them are submitting very convincing details about why they're right to moi. So, I believe I'm not entirely crazy about three separate entities.
Sadly, at least one of the three gets ignored.
Do you remember the famous Hallmark phrases like Listen to your heart or Let your heart guide you? There are many more that I can count. It is said that the heart is often silenced, but the mind gets kicked to the curb a lot too. And then there are times when we see someone and question whether or not both of their heart and mind had taken a vacation. We try to give importance to one and the other gets the boot, all the while it's vital to have harmony between the three entities.
In the last few years, I have come to the conclusion that I can have it all. And I have much peace from my ever-changing and ever-raging thoughts. It's not the battle that should take place.
I will look the gift horse in the mouth and I'll decide what to do with it.
Don't know about the heart and mind, they do quarrel, but it's nothing too serious.
But I believe there is an "eviler" version of myself that lives within and speaks to me every now and then, a side that gets the better of me sometimes. There's also the saint that lives within, opposing the evil side, most of the time winning too.
I don't know if they really exist or not, maybe it's just me talking to myself. But which is the true me? The evil version or the good one? Now that's what I'd like to know.
well it's like those cartoons where an angel and a devil side of us are sitting on each shoulder and giving us ideas about what we should do... the devil usually has some pretty fun ideas don't it?
Yep, amazing ideas for the short-term, which then f*cks it all up long-term.
