The heart always knows.
I was blessed with an extra electrical pathway in my heart. The congenital condition is called Wolff Parkinson's White. Nothing is prohibited, except that I need to constantly be on guard for excesses -- too much stress, lack of sleep, caffeine and alcohol are to be avoided as much as possible. Exercise is a must, five times a week is ideal because it helps regulate everything.
As I've gotten older, I've learned to rely on my heart's internal GPS more by listening to its early warning signals when to avoid certain situations and people before it goes haywire. Letting go, as I grow older, has been a lot easier to do.
"Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself. You have to know that you're a good person and a good friend. What's meant to be will end up good, and what's not won't. Love is worth fighting for, but sometimes you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't, you just have to move on and realize what you gave them was more than what they were willing to give you."
