I first tried to write out a blog here that went into the emotional aspect of the "heart". I found that I just couldn't compose my thoughts together without rambling. However, even though I can't really say everything I originally said, there is still one statement I wanted to delve into. It will be on a more personal level than my last post was, so keep that in mind.
I honestly find it miraculous how strong the "heart" really is. The "heart" is called many things...strong, weak, flawed, flawless...but I honestly can't seem to find the right word to call it. But one thing I now know...is how strong it can be. Throughout my days, I have encountered different experiences that made my emotions go haywire. I have been overcome with sadness and grief, struck with impulses of affection, encountered shots of anger and pain, riddled with emotional puzzles and mysteries, blissfully awarded tokens of happiness and excitement, and devastated with rejection and betrayal. Much despite the ups and downs life has to offer, I only found myself learning from each and every obstacle I came across. It's as if my "heart" picked up the various impulses that go through me in every situation I overcame.
As I saw the person I cared deeply for start her new life today, I didn't know what to expect. I dreaded to feel overcome with sadness, as it was the last thing that should be going through my mind at the time. However, even though deep down, I could feel my heart wrenching, I was overcome with joy and pride to see the one I care for make her vow. It was, in all honesty, the emotion I expected to least happen, yet it was the most prominent. Even now, as I sit here after everything is over and as I reflect on the event of the day, I still feel the same way.
What I'm trying to say is that we may never fully comprehend just how our emotions work. We may think we know their functions better than everyone else, but once you think you know the pattern, something amazing happens that blows away your expectations. Our "hearts" can be pumped with happiness...torn by sadness...overcome with love...or even slashed with hatred. But one thing that seems to become a common occurrence is how strong and durable our "hearts" become after each trial. As humans, we may never fully comprehend the forces of nature that govern the mental spectrum. Scientists may claim to have found viable data to support statistics, but what good does that do for the majority of the population? Most people prefer not to get caught up in the statistical aspect of things...and who can blame them? We live life the way we want to live it. We live and learn...that's how we mature. How do you want to define yourself? I can guarantee that your choice will impact your emotional stability for the rest of your life.
Do you want to be a caring individual? Your actions will support your choice.
Do you want to be a violent psychopath? Your actions will support your choice.
Our choices truly define who we are. As humans, we are flawed to sometimes view the darker side of things. It seems to just be the way we are...always considering the non-perfect outcomes in a non-perfect world. But what we think is not always the same as what we feel or do.
I really feel like I'm rambling on now, so let me make this ending quick. The human "heart" is much stronger than anyone could imagine. I doubt I know where to begin on the subject. I merely offer opinions. Humans are flawed on so many levels, it's not even fair to begin starting to count...as we'll never finish. But if you look through the darkness, there is a light deep inside that truly defines who we truly are. Can we control how our "heart" works? It varies really...depending on the person. Some people can...some people can't...and some people can't realize what's going on.
As for me? Well...I feel like my "heart" is set to care for the well being of others. Despite the selfish feelings that have been running through my head lately, I truly felt proud to be called that girl's friend today...as I couldn't have been more happy than I was today. So...what does your "heart" say about you?

It's surprising how strong the human heart can be, even when it's faced with large amounts of turmoil and stress. In ways, it seems like the heart becomes stronger as it's exposed to more and more of it... but at the same time, that can be a bad thing, leading someone to stay closed and indifferent, insensitive to the outside world. But still, I think anyone has some goodness deep within them, and it's the choices that define whether or not they'll act based on that goodness or not.
