The Heart or the Head

-
The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. However, I am not here to talk about the physical function of the heart but am going to talk about the heart in its metaphorical or symbolic sense as the center of emotion, including affection and love.

Of all the "logical' things in this world-love isn't one of them. One school of thought mentioned that we never love in the same way twice and I totally agree, because each person is different and so is how we care about them, what is really important is if we love them from the heart or with our heads.

Loving with our heads may be satisfying but it's not soul-enriching and it won't ever be that once-in-a-lifetime type of love. Furthermore,  loving someone with our heads is a choice that we make, but loving someone with our hearts is a choice that is made for us.

I have come to realize that love is a beautiful thing especially if it comes from the heart, with this type of love we cannot attempt to conceal the floodgates of emotions with the futile blocks of denial and self-sabotage, but the only thing that this love does is grow stronger when the heart knows what or rather whom it's meant for, nothing can stand in the way.

Love with our hearts is most time inconvenient and differs greatly from the comfort present when we love with our heads. Loving with your heart can be challenging, because everything we had expected to be true about the love we have to leave behind, importantly we have to trust the path we are on.

Love with your heart.

New Beginnings: Embracing Change and Finding Strength

-
Life is a series of chapters, each filled with its own experiences, challenges, and lessons. As we navigate through these chapters, we inevitably encounter moments that signify the end of one phase and the beginning of another. Embracing these new beginnings can be both exhilarating and daunting, but they offer us a chance to reflect, grow, and rediscover ourselves. The Importance of Closure Before embarking on a new journey, it's essential to acknowledge and process the past. Closure is a critical component of moving forward. Whether it’s a relationship, a job, or a lifestyle, recognizing what has come to an end allows us to honor our experiences and the lessons they imparted. It’s not always easy, but taking the time to reflect helps us to release any lingering emotions and prepare ourselves for what lies ahead. Embracing Change Change is often met with resistance. We fear the unknown and cling to the comfort of familiarity. However, new beginnings often arise from the ashes of o...

The Seductive Stranger by Shernette Shaw- Clarke

The Seductive Stranger An uncontrollable percussive sound escaped from my chest as you approach me. The closer you get  the more my unsettled limbs expose my sense of disquietude.  The strength in my knees deserted me instantly. I have never laid eyes on such a fine human being - A paragon of a flawless consort. I struggle to maintain my vertical position as you reach for your camera. ‘You are so flawless, yet you want to capture my imperfection.’  screamed my starved mind. You looked at me with your perfect eyes- the best I’ve ever beheld. I gasp for breath. With you less than two feet away from me  everything around me immediately vanished until  you parted your ravishing lips and uttered: ‘Excuse me, lady, you are blocking my view’                                                     ...
