One of lifes many mysteries...
One of my biggest problems in life is applying my advice and my standards to myself. When my friends are having problems in there lives, I can give some of the best advice. It seems as though I always know how to handel their problems. However when it comes to those same problems in my life it seems as though I am always at a loss. Why is that?
There is always a battle raging in all of us between the heart and the mind. One of them seems to always hold the key to our happiness, and one of them always seems to have the key to our logic and better judgement. Which one should we side with? Is it ok to pursue something that makes no sense just because it is what your heart wants to do? Is it ok to pursue something just because you want it, even though your better judgement tells you not to?
It does seem as though it is one of lifes many problems. I never seem to know which path will lead to a happier future. I never know which road to take. I suppose in the end it will all make sense, though at times I get the feeling that I should try living my life for myself as oppose to living it for others, even though in my mind that seems to be the most selfish thing imagineable.

you have spoken the words of my mind and heart, words that ive been wanting to write for weeks but never found the motivation. you and i seem to share a common wavelength here... ive found myself advising but never heeding advice. everything seems so clouded, so distant, that its hard to truly know which direction to go in anymore. i miss you, more than you know, and hope youre always happy. surround yourself only with what makes you smile, and never forget that you deserve only the best.
