Are the mind and the heart (the all-encompassing vessel of emotions linked to intimacy, romance, pleasure, etc.) truly distinct entities? This is a question I seek to answer. As a student of psychology, and more importantly, as a human being who possesses the capacity to feel a range of emotions and think critically, I have found this to be an intriguing topic.
Most adults have felt what they consider to be love (an enigmatic emotion I will address in future posts), and unfortunately, most adults have faced what we call heartbreak (even that term is so depressing, huh?). Given that most of us have experienced the aforementioned, we are well-aware of the explosion of emotions and subsequently the mental metamorphosis they could bring.
A common phrase we hear (or a derivative of it) is, "Think with your brain, not your heart." But what does this actually mean? How can we divide the emotions that make us human from the mind that also builds our personality? Through this blog, I hope to shed light on some of the issues we experience within the world of intimacy, and how those issues relate to the mental well-being of a person. Let's take a journey to the mind of the heart.
About Me
- Hector Manuel Miranda
- Hey there! My name is Hector Manuel Miranda, and I am a 22 year old student at Rutgers University. I study psychology and linguistics, and hope to establish a career in psychotherapy. The complexities of the mind have always fascinated me. I've recently been interested in how the mind is affected by the heart (the figurative heart) and other issues revolving around dating, relationships, etc. Thus, this blog will focus on my opinions and analyses of these topics. Enjoy!
