the heart

the heart, it steers everything into motion. it tells me stories about love, about loss, about the chance of a future. i believe there is so much beauty inside us, its buried right under your skin, and sometimes, in your weakest moment , it shines.

i am not one to preach about romance, or God, or even the good and the bad inside each of us, but i do believe in emotion. and i believe people are most beautiful when at their most vulnerable. they show something real, they involuntarily share something with you, their secrets.

i believe that life is meant to be lived with the heart. i believe that the brain is there to remind us to be smart, but only when at our weakest. it isn't about being careful, or about setting up safety nets before you leap. it's about leaping without a single fucking thought in your head, it's about letting yourself crash, about letting something destroy you. it's about letting everything in, letting love in, whether it be to a man, or a woman, or even a passion, its about not being afraid to break into pieces.

it's about physically wanting someone, about the traces of your breath near your neck in cold weather, its about glances at people you're too afraid to fall for, but fall for anyway. i think there's so much to life that so many people miss, it's like they live, and never figure out why.

but whether it takes you to the highest cloud, or it drags you down to hell, just remember, rock bottom is a fucking beautiful place to start.
