In my opinion there are two and only two types of people in this world. Those that think with their head’s first or those that think with their heart. These two types of people can only really be seen in a relationship setting. And this editorial is really only relevant to a relationship setting.

A person that thinks with their head only looks at a relationship pragmatically. They look at the facts and the make up of the relationship first before anything else. They are methodical about a relationship and their feelings aren't a priority. They are the ones who have been jaded and aren’t willing to just let their guard down because they’ll just “get hurt” in the process. Their main priority is looking out for themselves first and if the other person happens to fit in with the current way their life is going, then they will allow someone to come in. In a relationship they are the ones that typically play the role of the “ass” or “bitch”. Taking risks for a relationship isn’t really worth it to them. To them, emotions come second.

A person that thinks with their heart looks at a relationship emotionally. They size up the facts like anyone else would, but a lot of their decisions are purely based on their feelings. Most of the time they are newbies to the whole relationship experience, but there are those that have been hurt, but still stay true to their heart-minded thinking. Their main priority is to go with what they are feeling, and they put the other person in the relationship before them a lot of the time. In a relationship they are typically the ones that get played or hurt because they are willing to totally go for it, without any reservations. They take a lot more risks for the sake of the relationship. To them, emotion rules all.

Two heart-minded people go with their emotions so much, that they lose their rationale and their relationship takes on both extremes. A couple that has two Head-thinking people won’t have that true passion because they put emotions aside. A couple that is made up of one Heart-based person and one head-based person usually works pretty well because you get the best of both worlds.

You might be reading this feeling that you have qualities from both sides, but if you think hard and dig deep, you are really on one side or the other. Which one are you?

VS.

I’m all about the heart, and that’s probably why I’ve been hurt a good amount of times. But I will never change that because just throwing everything out on the table knowing you could possibly get hurt, is better than keeping everything in the head.
