The Pro's and Con's of ...... Wearing your Heart on your Sleeve

As the first part of what I hope to be an ongoing series..i will attempt to first look at the pro’s and con’s of……………………wearing your heart on your sleeve….

Pro’s

-You can easily voice out thoughts and ideas that would otherwise have tormented you(and only YOU!!!) had you kept it to yourself.

Cons
-it makes it all the more easier for someone to rip out your heart, shred it into itty-bitty pieces and then stomp on it.

-if your heart is on your sleeve it might act faster and more recklessly than it would have had your head told it to stop.

-You cry whenever you feel like it, this may not be such a good thing it might make the people around you uncomfortable or might make everyone else wonder what in the world you are getting senti about .

-people can easily tell when you’re happy, sad, angry, in love, bored out of your wits etc etc…. (it’s not a good thing!!!)

-the whole world knows what’s in your heart ..and you have only yourself to blame…

-most people you meet tend to be heart on the sleeve-less, which can potentially lead to a lot of heartache for yourself .

-somehow your heart on the sleeve ,tends to give it more importance than your brain , than if it were say..where your heart is supposed to be in the first place!! Because of this unnatural position you tend to give more importance to things like gut instinct, the idea of “Love” ,the concept of soulmate and go about saying things like “I don’t like this guy …just because!!!” etc etc , than if you gave your brain the most importance…..

And in spite of all the cons………….. we still haven’t learnt to be heart in the sleeve-less!!!
