How do you know which one truly comes from your heart?
...................................................................................................
YW: well...I’ll go for the one which I’m more inclined towards
hardshell: People always say, “Follow your heart...” but when you feel n think of something that doesn’t make sense compared to something that seems to make sense… which one would be to follow the heart?
YW: hmm… for me, I'll take some time to ponder and finally go for the one that makes sense the most.
hardshell: the one that makes sense the most… so wouldn’t that count as following your brain instead of your heart?
YW: Hmm… I didn’t think of that!!! Hmm…

SH: when I hear one voice and I feel nothing, I feel that it's not right... for me, following my heart in this situation means to go against the brain actually. Cos if I'm following my brain, I'm following the safest route. The other option is risky, I dunno how the future will be... it doesn't make sense but my heart still says to go for it.
hardshell: n I wonder how something so risky can be so right... I mean the concept of listening to one's heart...
SH: I dunno. It doesn't make sense. Following your hearts desires is never the easier thing to do... but following and listening to it will lead you to happiness.
hardshell: but desires aren't necessarily good.
SH: I dunno. I don't see it as that. It's what your gut tells you to do. Paul Coelho said that most of us push away and don't listen to our heart's desires because of obligations and fears of the uncertainty. But your heart will keep on talking to you. If you still don't follow what it says, one day it'll just fall silent. And you'll end up feeling empty.

"Follow your heart..."
"Listen to your heart..."
"Do what your heart tells you to..."
How it all sound so easy, so cliche...
Yet not that easy...
Don't you think?

i don't know...
ReplyDeletei’ve been thinking abt X a lot.
i hear a voice telling me to stop “testing” the situation. to just look him in the eye n tell him tht i actually have special feelings for him. but there’s also a voice telling me its too late now, its impossible. when i decide to follow the first voice, i feel scared. then i change my mind n follow the second voice. but the first voice keeps nagging at me n i still continue to think abt him everyday. is the first voice then, a voice from my heart? i don't know... i wish someone can tell me. its really a difficult question. but i see there r no other replies or comments. maybe tht is the sad truth – nobody really knows :(
hi anonymous... do i know you?
ReplyDeletek, you don't need to reply that. I guess it just gives me a sense of comfort to know that my entry resonates with someone... tho I must say my blog is rather like a canvas for my thoughts, a magnification of my contemplation and discussion, therefore not necessarily the perfect place for you to seek your answers. heh, so take heart, the lack of comment here definitely doesn't even begin to capture the truth.
Hmm.. I don't know your story well enough to offer any advice. It appears to me that you really like X a lot. I'm curious... y would it be too late? or impossible? How would you know? Maybe your fears are unfounded even.
Maybe it'll help to consider the consequences of each action instead. Should you confess your true feelings, will your heart be at peace if you ended up losing the friendship (I assume he is a friend)? Should you listen to the second voice, will your heart be at peace? But... you've already mentioned that you're still troubled after listening to it... so hmm... do we have an answer here?
It's really up to you to weigh and decide. What have you got to lose? Making life's choices is never simple. Tho we all wish it were :O)
if only it's that simple

i've been away for a period of time n wasn't physically present in X's life. because of tht we r not s close now s i'd like us to be. my friend says maybe his priorities have changed. i don't know, i think its too late. i think he already has someone else in mind. someone who was there when i wasn't.
