When I was younger, I used to use my heart a lot to make choices. However, as I got older, using my heart made it difficult to keep friends because I was always "really nice" and stopped being rational about the types of friend I should have. I have always been the "nice type"but sometimes being too nice all the time does not get us very far, only hurt. So when I left high school I decided to use my head instead of my heart. I can only put my heart through so much...Not to be all sad and sappy, but its true, why put our hearts through so much if we know that they can really only handle so much? Now, I am realizing that using both your head and your heart is important because you need to ensure that whom you are friends with will both benefit and encourage and educate you, while using your head reminds you to be practical and honest to make sure the friendship stays what it should be. Right, strong, and faith based. If you pick a friend who will steer you the wrong way, enjoy getting back on track, it is not easy, but it is possible, but be prepared for some tears.
How do you decide who to be friends with? Do you use your heart, your head, or both?
What has worked better for you?
