"Our hearts are monsters that's why our ribs are cages"
My friend asked me once why our hearts set themselves up for heartbreak. Why we fall in love with someone who isn't right for us. Why our hearts yearn for someone or something so much, that it physically hurts when it sets in that you can't have them. And I honestly don't know. Our hearts long for something to make them feel complete. So much so that often sets itself up to be broken, again and again. Because unlike your brain, your heart doesn't learn from its countless mistakes. It dives in headfirst, ignoring all the signs of what could go wrong. And maybe that's not such a bad thing, maybe it is. Maybe it's better this way, to jump right back into things without putting too much thought into it. To not let the grief consume you. Maybe its just easier this way, trying again without worrying about the endless possibilities of how it will end up. I honestly don't know though. I really don't.
