Follow Your Heart?

You know how they always say follow your heart. Exactly what do they mean by that? How are you suppose to go about knowing what to do when your feelings are a jumbled up mess of puzzle pieces that won't fit together... When your torn between something (no need for specifics here-), and your mind tells you one and your heart tells you another, is there really a way to figure out which one is which without using a trial-error process?

Lately I've been stuck. Stuck in a pile of rotting trash I should have thrown out a year ago. I really wish I had gotten rid of it then, not now. Because now, no matter how much I want to enjoy the scenery, there's still a mess I need to clean up.

Maybe it's Valentines Day or maybe it's just me in general, but it's about time I sort out all these "thoughts."

I guess I'm just too afraid to leave my comfort zone. Life is good and even as the chance comes by for me to experience life as GREAT, I'm just SO afraid of it for some reason. Remember when we were little and we just did things for the sake of doing it. Like, "I dare you to run up to that person and come back." Why? There really was no point, but we just did it anyway because we could. Yea, I want to run up to a random person right now and run back.
