The truth lays within our hearts not our minds

I cannot look at you Because I am scared my eyes will tell you the truth
I cannot be myself in front of you
Because when I am around you I am too nervous to remember who I am
I do not know how you feel towards me
So I too feel nothing towards myself
When I am not with you, I think of how funny our conversations can be
When I am with you, I cannot think of anything to say
The truth lies within my heart, where I know I have feelings for you.

Because our minds remind of us of the fear, we tend to forget how we feel. The fear of being rejected, the fear of commitment, the fear of a relationship that will not work, the fear that you do not feel the same for me as I do for you, sometimes even the fear that our life will change in a way that we must give up certain things; like the time we spend with our friends, work or family. All these fears which we have in our minds that lead us to ignore our hearts.

We live in a world where we must think before we act. A society where we are reminded that the most important and successful decisions are made with precise thought, planning and thorough research. We are a society of business plans.

What we forget is that as humans we are made to love. We are destined to be with someone. We are created in a way to find, express, feel and share love. And the heart is where love is generated from. The heart is where love is felt. Not our minds. Yet we tend to allow our minds to direct us when it comes to love. We should not allow our mind to be in charge of our emotions, because they are not created there. Especially when it is our mind that reminds us of the fears, the things we may lose.

If it wasn’t for my mind telling me you can see how I feel
I would look at you
If it wasn’t for my mind telling me you may not like the real me
I would be myself in front of you
If it wasn’t for my mind reminding me to analyze everything
I would not be nervous in front of you
If it wasn’t for my mind telling me to think before I speak in front of you
I would speak freely
If it wasn’t for my mind telling me to think about how you feel towards me
I would allow myself to feel it instead

Our heart is not scared to have feelings. Our heart does not think of the what-ifs, it only feels. The truth lies within the heart, not our actions, not our words, not the things we deny ourselves of being.

When it comes to love, listen to your heart not your mind. Your heart will always tell you the truth without analyzing the possibilities, the could be, couldn’t be, might, might nots. Your heart just feels; it holds the raw truth and the key to a happy and healthy relationship. The next time you like someone don’t think of anything but what you feel when you think of that person. With those feelings allow your mind to think of the best course of actions on how to express them. Not suppress them with thoughts outside of your true emotions. Because at the end of the day, as humans we are nothing but emotions. We are living in this world to experience through our emotions. So make sure your emotions are the reasons behind your choices and the guidance to your life.

Live to feel, feel to live.
