  • Stupid Heart

    Do you think following your heart makes you stupid? I’m afraid I have to disagree. Letting your heart lead shows you’re willing to embrace life’s uncertainties and to feel deeply even when there’s no guarantee.  Sure, it’s left you with questions and maybe some hurt, but isn’t that part of being authentically human?  Maybe the real issue isn’t that your heart is too open but that others haven’t met you with the same sincerity.  What would it look like to protect your heart without closing it off entirly? Ms. Butterfly Genesis
