Dearly Departed

Something I have always wondered is, what makes the heart feel? What is it inside your heart that makes you feel love and lust and heartbreak and happiness. When your heart “breaks”, what is it that causes that feeling of lack of breath and heaviness? Why does your heart skip a beat when you see a certain persons smile, but then it can have no reaction to others? Is all of it just a mere reflection of your past? Do you unknowingly develop these preferences as you age? Or does your mind simply trick your heart into believing it’s broken or sad or happy etc? Is everything we feel in our hearts, just a reaction to what our minds are telling us? Seeing as this crosses my mind ALL THE TIME, I figured I’d share it. Think about it :)

Oh and here’s a mindfuck for ya: When someone gets a heart transplant of a donor, do you think they feel the donors feelings?

Most people would probably say: No that’s stupid, of course not. You’re crazy.

But I personally, don’t see how it’s possible to have someone elses heart and feel completely like yourself again…
