Head or heart?




Crunchy or smooth?
Tea or coffee?
Johnny Depp or George Clooney?
Head or heart?

It's a shame the last question isn't as easy as the rest. Head or heart? I'm sure we've all been met with the decision at some point in our lives and sometimes it's near impossible to figure it out.

Which do you follow when your heads screaming one thing and your heart something completely different? You've reached a fork in the road, the signposts aren't clear. All you know is each road will lead to opposite destinations, lead you towards two completely different lives. It's not clear which is the right road, they are both filled with bumps and pot holes. One says head, the other heart.

You want to believe your heart is right, but it's been wrong in the past. Your head is perhaps the more sensible road but what if sensible doesn't make you happy?

What if you don't even know what will make you happy? What if you're scared to put you first? If only life was black and white and not filled with giant expenses of grey. Big, looming, confusing areas of grey. If only being happy was as simple as it sounds. 

Life is complicated. Life is confusing and life is sure as hell a rollercoaster.

Some of you may know what this post is about, but it's not something I want to blog about. I just needed to write something to try and figure my thoughts out. It hasn't helped.

So head or heart? Which is right and why?

    I can't decide. In the end it depends on the situation and I always seem to choose the wrong path.
    It all depends on the one thing, are you brave enough to make the not so easy decision?

  3. I can see how that's a struggle, it's one I always have. In the past, my heart has always been telling me the right things but yet I tend to follow my head and reason my heart away... I've actually decided that I should follow my heart more, in the end it's the heart that tells us where our happiness is.

    Good luck with whatever the decissions are you have to make :)

  5. I saw a really awesome movie once which this quote comes from: "Don't let your heart lead you cause your heart can be deceived. You have to lead your heart." Hope that helps with your question ...

    No seriously...you should always follow your heart. Usually your head is the one full of doubts and fears. x
