Everywhere I look, traces of romance mark on every place I lay my eyes to. Like what people like to say; love is in the air, and I can’t quite argue with that as I know that love can be found everywhere, romantic and platonic. But, as much as my heart believes in that, my mind says otherwise. It is hard to find genuine relationships these days whether it is friendship or romance. Communication and trust are something sacred that it’s hard for most people to give. Why? They are petrified. Upheaval experiences and commitment also include the reasons why my mind is slowly crossing out the idea of love. With unpleasant experiences, my mind started focusing on practicality rather than fantasies and/or standards that I know will never be met. However, no matter how much my mind refrains from the idea of love — in some way — my heart weighs more, filled with hope and devotion, conquering the eagerness of what love truly feels like.
Let’s be honest, there will always be a battle between our hearts and minds; could be with the simplest things or being indecisive about a certain thing. Consequently, love creates a conflict between our hearts and mind, constructing strenuous problems that are somehow impossible. That even if your heart tells you to take the risk, your mind unconsciously holds you back. Therefore, you find yourself concealing everything if that means “protecting” yourself from the peril situation you are in.
The question is: does following your mind make you hesitant to commit, or is it the fear of reliving past trauma that holds you back?
