getting old

as i get ready to reach the ripe old age of 28 in the coming months, i am discovering that the heart wants what the heart wants. while the brain may be convinced and believe in something, if the heart is not along for the ride, then the wall falls down. all those people who tell you think with your brain instead of your heart have never been in love, or could be canadian . . .

of course there is the risk of getting burned when you lead with your heart, but there is also the chance of maximum reward - i am a leap before i look kind of guy - many times have i landed face first in the pit of snakes, but it only took that one time of landing in that euphoric place to know that i would always leap first and look later, that i would let my heart lead the way, and that i would love every minute of it.
