Advice

I was once told many years ago that I should always listen to my heart.
I was also told that listening to your heart gets you in trouble.
Seems like a catch twenty two.
Listening to your heart can push you to the edge,
The edge of reason,
The edge of sanity,
The edge of tolerance.
Once at the edge you learn something about yourself
Something that you would have never thought about before.
You learn that you’ve done this to yourself,
You’ve pushed yourself so far that you are leaning over the edge.
And then you think,
The only way back,
Is to take that plunge.
So you do,
You take it!
And you fall in love.
