I think... that up to this point, I've made every decision with my head instead of my heart. And I sort of did that so that when it came down to the end, I'd be able to follow my heart whichever way it wanted to go.
But now that I'm in a position to follow my heart... it's really hard to trust it since I've never given it a chance. I'm just trained to use my head. I feel like I'm being immature or irresponsible if I follow my heart here.
The responsible thing seems like the safe thing. To follow the map that I've been handed. It doesn't necessarily go to a bad place, but it avoids all of the stops that I had wanted to make.
But following my heart seems uncharacteristically risky. Because I don't have a map, or even a specific destination. But I know that the route I'm taking will include the sights I had wanted to see...
So is it about getting to the final destination? Or is it about making the most of the trip?
