A Orphic jigsaw,

A puzzlement called "sentience"..

Split in two, this brain!

Do I listen to my heart?

Or die a slow compelled death?

      1. The mind versus the heart. It’s quite the puzzle.

        I think I rely more on my mind these days cause my heart has conned me too many times before.

        I reckons it’s also one of those experience is the best teacher kind of situations 🙂

        1. True. I guess I just find my heart and inner voice tend to be more accurate as I tend to be very intuitive and my feelings, hence my heart are set very much connected. My head has a tendency to overthink and worry too much without looking at the bigger picture. I guess it truly comes down to finding the right balance of the two.😉

          1. Girls, you are rocking it! Loving the discussion coz it’s too REAL and relatable to ignore!
            Yes, I agree, balance is the key and the wisdom of “getting the right balance” comes from experience! 😉
