On Following Your Heart

When I’m faced with a difficult decision, and I’m not sure what to do, I always just follow my heart. When it comes down to it, my heart always knows what’s really best for me, you know?

Of course, you might wonder, “Oh yeah? You follow your heart? You just do whatever your heart tells you? What if your heart jumped off a bridge? Would you do that, too? Jackass.”

Well, when it comes down to it, you know, I’ve got to trust my heart no matter what. And I’ve got to believe that somehow, some way, there’d be a good reason for jumping off that bridge. And sometimes the best thing to do in the long run might involve doing some things in the short run that seem unpalatable.

So if my heart jumped off a bridge, I guess I would jump after it. And why? Because that’s how much I trust my heart.

And also because humans can only survive for roughly thirty seconds without a heart pumping blood to their brain, so it’d be like, “Whoa! I’m gonna die soon! Heart: get back in here!”

P.S. Next time you wonder something, don’t call me jackass. Jackasses.
