Odds On Love

Does your heart ever tell you things that go way beyond common sense? Does it speak to you so strongly sometimes but your head knows that what it is saying is wrong? Or maybe I shouldn't say wrong. Maybe I should potentially hurtful or heartbreaking for you. Why is it that your heart sometimes sends you careening down those paths that are destined for it's own ruin? Is it the lessons you learn on the journey and at the destination? Or just so you have the exquisite torment of those emotions? So that you can feel. As a reminder that you are living. Not just existing but living.
And why oh why does it speak so strongly? To the point where in a girl like me, it drowns out the mind. Completely. It seems like a form of insanity. Or maybe, it's just a shot at happiness. A shot at the greatest happiness with the greatest risk. Where the odds may be stacked against you, but you go for it anyway. And 9 times out of 10, maybe it doesn't work. Like the odds on long distance love for example. But what if you were that one? The heart says to hell with probability. If there's a shot at your dream - your heart is going to speak on it. It's up to you to listen.

Just some food for thought...
