What's amazing is that I have control over my own heart, as does everyone else. This is such a powerful realization. Just to think that people can do so much to me, but at the end of the day I have control over what I feel.

On the other side, I could, of course, argue my point. Sometimes we are sent things in life and if we submit (over which we have control also) we will feel a certain way.

Still, I am sticking to my original point of we have control over the way we feel, even if we don't create our own feelings. We can choose to feel good, or choose to feel bad. I am stuck in a toug h love situation (not to be confused with "tough love") It's a tough situation and I can't figure out whether it is unrequited love or not. I can say that my love is very immense. So immense, that I sometimes fear it is overbearing if I let go. My mind helps me, because my mind helps me play games so that I don't get totally broken. But ultimately, my heart rules me. I feel that a safe option right now, because of my work and the way that I feel day in and day out affects my performance, is get a grip on my heart and don't let it slip away from me. Hey.. I need that. Or Hey, I want that back. These are just a few things that I am thinking right now. I really do need my heart. I need my heart for my work, I need my heart for my life.

As for everyone else. I hope that all my friends are winning all their battles and fighting fiercely. I truly do have great friends and I should thank God for that everyday.
