Listen to Your Heart

That's such a cliche, right? People always tell you, listen to your heart, follow your instincts, blah-dee-blah-blabbity-blah.

The reason cliches get to be cliches? Because they work.

I'm not sure if it's for me, one of my friends here, or one of my internet friends, but someone needs to know this. It's been bugging me all day.

You know you better than anyone else does. Yes, advice is nice, because it gives you a chance to hear things you sometimes need to hear, and hear it from a new perspective. But, advice is not always right. Only you know your life, your choices, your goals and thoughts and hopes and dreams and loves and passions. Sometimes, even when it seems wrong, to you, and to everyone else, your heart is screaming for you to make a choice. It may be a hard one, and it may hurt you, and you may have bad days where you stop and wonder "What was I thinking?!", but there is a reason you need to do this. There is a point, and a lesson, and you'll find the ends were worth the means.

Trust yourself. Love and respect yourself. Listen to that voice, the tiny, fiery one that is normally drowned out, but is crying so strongly, so desperately for a chance to prove itself now. Listen to your heart.
