I've said a lot lately about how sometimes the passions of our hearts need to be tempered with rationality in order to keep them from giddily ruining our love lives. Today, I want to talk about the opposite. Sometimes our hearts need a bit of prodding. Our hearts are fickle and can be led about by circumstance. For this reason, it's wise to mentally evaluate why we feel a certain way and, perhaps, use our minds to prod our hearts in a certain direction for their own good. Suppose you've been friends for a while when a boy starts trying to add some romance to your friendship.

I usually dont notice, but I just got a fabulous new roommate, and I keep feeling the need to comment on my idiosyncrasies.

Or how Ive been changing into the same Jeremy Messersmith T-shirt, which I wash regularly, every day after work for the past week. Or how my closet is organized by color and texture.
