Head vs Heart

Late Night Thoughts
Dr. Sean Davis

I really never know what to write for this website because everything I've been posting lately is so raw and honest, and I always get judged for it. However, I don't really care, and maybe that's an issue I guess. I don't really know, I don't have time to think about it. Actually I choose not to think about it. I don't want to dwell on whether or not my actions are an issue. Lately I've been choosing what's best for me. So that's that.

I just like to write how I feel, it's the thrill I get from writing. I get this sense of relief, I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders, and a writing piece is my gift to the world. If you call it a gift I guess.

It's that time between 12 a.m. and 3 a.m. where my thoughts are racing about everything. Reflecting on my day, reflecting on my choices, reflecting on if I did the correct thing. It's never-ending.

Anyway, I feel like a lot of people's favorite subject to ask me about is my love life since there are rumors that I'm a hoe, I'm really not a hoe, I guarantee it. Yet, I don't really believe I have to prove otherwise, because I know who I am. There's actually only one guy I truly have my eyes set on. It sucks because I feel like he just sees right through me. If it were up to me though I could stare at his honey colored eyes all day, even though they don't notice me the way I want them to. It'd be a pleasure really. Just to look at them all day, look at him. I mean you see him, you see an average guy. I see a work of art. I'm cheesy as fuck but oh well, I'm just going to give that space though. Sometimes I feel like I latch on and become this pest. I don't want to be a pest though, because it's really not who I am. I also don't like being seen as an option. Even though unfortunately I'm completely disposable. However, fortunately for me, I enjoy being alone.

Being alone is comforting really. I like the sensation of it. It's relaxing, you're in your own little world. You're completely, and utterly yourself. Nothing can get better than that. I enjoy reading a book, or listening to music. When I'm alone I truly get the message that the piece I'm working with is conveying to me. It's remarkable really. I love it. I love not being able to have to communicate with anyone, me being a waitress it's almost weird that outside of work I don't like being very social, because at work I'm a social butterfly. I have to admit I find it hard keeping up with a conversation, I'm always uninterested. It's hard not to zone out and get lost in my thoughts. There's just so much to think about. It's crazy.

Sometimes I get a little distant though. But if someone really wanted to be a part of my life, they'd make an effort, and not treat me like something you butter up and taste when you get bored. I'm more than that. I know I am.

I'm always thinking about everything so profoundly it sends my head spinning at times. I try to figure everything out. I'm still trying to learn that I can't have the answer to everything no matter how much I search. It's hard to accept. So my questions linger, waiting to be resolved. I eventually hope they will.

I don't know maybe I'm just weird.

I am weird.

Whatever.

I don't really care.

Maybe I should?

And if I did, I'd be absolutely more mad, than I already am.

I have this desire to help everyone, but at the end of the day, most days more often that not, I get slapped in the face for helping someone who didn't deserve me taking the time to do so. Why is that? Why do I repeat making the same mistakes hoping that one day the result will change?

My head and my heart are constantly at war.

It's a struggle, believe me.

I don't understand the point of this article, I guess I just wanted to get it out-of-the-way because I've been trying to write more now that I have time. I guess they're just late night thoughts.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
