My mind is an addict, longing to solve problems, longing to be understood, compulsively making connections and finding the best possible ways to express itself.
My heart is different. My heart knows no words, it knows only love and pain. It tugs at my mind, knowing it deserves a seat at the table. My mind pats it on the head and keeps doing what it’s doing.
The heart is patient until it’s not. It will manifest all kinds of things into my life to say “Slow the fuck down and find your center”.
The mind has it’s own simulated version of the heart. It thinks it knows what the heart wants. It thinks it’s listening to the heart. But just like a parent who thinks they understand their children when they’ve already completely forgotten their own childhood, it overlays its own imagination of what it thinks the heart is.
The mind comes to the table knowing exactly what it wants to say. It’s a seasoned soldier with a plan. The heart can let things happen on their own, the words will come or they won’t.
I can feel old scars in everything I do. Even with all that I’ve healed, I am still healing. My heart and my mind are both so much healtheir than theymve ever been…but they are still learning to communicate with each other. That bond still needs healing.
I can only imagine how unstoppable I will be on the other side of every struggle.
As I learn silence.
As I learn patience.
As I learn my own value.
As I learn how to connect with the divine.
As I learn gratitude.
I can finally feel gratitude. I’m no longer faking it to myself.
I love this city. It allows me to hide or be seen at will. It challenges me constantly. I’ve learned discipline through the struggle to survive, and I’ve learned that some things are more important than survival. From now I’ll learn that I can have it all.
It’s just about becoming, the mending of the heart and mind, masculine and feminine, finding the middle path, learning balance.
Balance is not about making sacrifice. It’s about devotion. It’s when you know something is so important to you that you want to become better and give it your all. You do what is required of you and it doesnt feel like work, because it’s so exciting to be on your path.
I love the beautiful people in my life. They come in all varieties. There are those I meet casually to feel connected to my community. There are others I go to when I want to build inspiration together. There are those who help who help provide the fuel (encouragement, money, invitations, smiles, music), and others who allow me to support them. There are those I admire so much, I once would have never thought that I deserve their time.
And I love myself for learning how to feel like an equal among them.
The mind wants to keep writing but the heart says that’s enough.

Keeping the balance between your mind and your heart is something not a lot of people are able to master, and I don't think a lot of us get the hang of it in the end, or if that's even possible.
But I've come to understand the value of not letting any of them cloud my judgement. My heart could leave me bare and vulnerable, susceptible to all forms of pain, and my mind could make me emotionless, devoid of feeling.
So it's a struggle learning to balance the two. And the value of having a good community to support you cannot be overemphasized. This is the first post I came across this morning and it is truly uplifting.🌺
Thank you! I am trying to “take my temperature” a few times a day to see which one is in control and try to balance them out. 🔥 💧

Having the right people in your corner is therapeutic and cannot be over-emphasized. No matter how independent we think we are we need people from different works of life.
Hello, @selfhelp4trolls How have you been? it's been a minute😃
Well it’s not been easy but good things still come my way so I can’t complain. Grinding as usual. Hoping for a breakthrough very soon
Having beautiful ones in our lives means a whole lot. I’m glad you appreciate them and hope you’re beautiful to them as well
