    i believe they're usually on the same page.
    you can survive a broken heart, though you might not want to.
    but without logic, it won't keep you from blindly walking into a meat slicer.

    i don't make decisions.
    i make tradeoffs,
    and it takes both to determine the best possible outcome.

    this isn't an either or,
    neither can do it alone.

    I usually do the opposite of my gut feeling, for some reason. Then I just get the fucken shits when I was right the first time.

    I seem to function more intuitively and passionately rather than logically. The choices i make often don't make sense. Hard to explain how i function. Kinda like i just do, then try to make sense of it all later. Following a passion then my mind seems to try to figure out how to get there or keep up with it after the choice has already been made. I can be quite reckless with my life because of this.

    I wish i could explain this better.

    My brain and my heart usually have an intense argument. Whoever fights hardest wins

    From my learnings, I have learned that the heart is treacherous, who could know it?

  10. I don't know how to distinguish the two. Sometimes it feels like all of my thoughts may be based on the whims of a heart that bears no relation to reality.

    Whichever one will lead me down the worst possible path at any given time usually gets the lead.

    I let my gut make all my decisions and cut out those other two chumps. Right now my gut is telling me to make some tacos.

    The heart makes a lot more mistakes.

    Maybe that's just for people like me who don't understand its language, though.

    My head and heart guide one another. Can't imagine doing it any other way and having an enjoyable life.

    Most definitely my head. If I followed solely my heart I wouldn't be here.

    I follow my heart until my mind wakes up and tells me to pull my head outta my ass ;)

    the 'i/eye' IS the heart AND the mind. it remains in one place while all things around it move.

    though it can also learn, grow and even to some extent, with the help of tools, which it also creates, create.

    but mainly, it is the self that is both, and how well it integrates and reconciles both, is its health.
