We all get into binds sometimes. Making a decision between two different things.
The situation I am constantly faced with is heart vs mind.
Mind can be based on fact, plainly what everyone else can see. Mind can also be based on your unaltering thought. (such as a view you have on something. example: politics)
Heart is something you and only you can say for yourself. It's how you feel for something or someone.
Heart and mind can go hand and hand, but it can also contradict one another.
Right now, I am faced with a situation that they cannot agree on.
I'll be flat out and honest though.

Last Thursday (2/25) was the UNC Jazz Festival where I missed a whole day of school to go perform with my high school's jazz band and watch others perform. It was also the day of me and my boyfriends 2 month. (Just for the record, 2 months doesn't seem very long, but we've been trying to make things work for a longlong time but there has been conflicts getting in our way.) Just that morning he looked in my eyes and told me "Happy 2 month, baby. I love you so much"
Just before warmup at the festival, I got a text from my best friend that said "Tony was smoking pot in the bandroom library." I couldn't believe it at first so I ignored it and left to perform. After the performance, I came back to check my phone where I had gotten 5 new text messages from different people all saying the same thing.
It's bad enough that he was doing drugs, but he lied to me. A few nights before, we had talked about this. He asked me "What if I started smoking pot again?" I made him promise he wouldn't. He SWORE to me that he wouldn't. He thought that if I wasn't at school that day, he could get away with it. He lied to me and went behind my back...
Yes, he got suspended. Yes, this is all 100% true.
Now my mind is telling me to leave him because he lied to me, went behind my back and did drugs at that.
But my heart can't let him go. I love him...I've never felt this way about anyone before. Tony makes me feel like a belong in someone's life, he makes me so much happier than I've ever been.
My friends side with my mind
I, alone, side with my heart.
