Open or closed...

That's the question of the moment...do I continue to open my heart when going into relationships or do I keep it closed?

Now the brain laughs and says "You really need to ask? You are feeling used and abused right now and that was because you opened your heart. If you had kept it closed and used your head you would be in control and definitely not hurting."

But my heart says "No keep it open, how else will you feel the joys of being with someone? The pain is bad now but the lessons learned and the feelings gained are worth it. The pain will pass and you will be able to look back on this and smile one day."

But I think that next time I should try using both...
