Human beings need a lot of things to feel a live… family, friends, love, sex… but we only need one thing to actually be alive… We need a beating heart… when our heart is threatened… we respond to it, in one of two wais… we either run or… we attack… there’s a scientific term for this fight… its instinct… we cant control it… or can we?

There are so many ways in which our heart can be threatened… The most talked about is a broken heart… how can you control it and make it all better? How can you recover from that?…How can you prevent your instinct from taking over? When people run is because they are being threatened yeah ok, but when people fight… its not because the heart is being threatened…. Is because it has already done the damage.  The heart is already broken and with time… it is suppose to get better… the heart being one of the strongest muscles and all…. But what if someone left you at the altar… what if that person has your heart in it’s hands making it beat day by day and that person just… stopped giving that push… just stopped… left you alone while all your friends look at you in pity and your heart just dropped dead…. Your heart stopped pumping blood to your veins leaving you feeling cold and yet… you don’t die… you want to, but… you cant…

I’ve read somewhere that, the mind is connected to your brain… and if you  don’t want to live… don’t have that desire to live… the mind convinces the heart to stop his work… and you die… you see the heart wants to live… it does, but, when he find himself alone without the brain… it shuts down ‘cause… he doesn’t have a purpose anymore

“Carmen are you ok?” Alice came in the room and lays down next to me looking directly at me

“When Dana died… how did it feel?”

“It wasn’t the same… we weren’t… it wasn’t…”

“But… when she died… did you feel-“

“What?”

“Like you were moving in slow motion?”

“No… she was there and then she wasn’t… like I blinked and she was gone…”
