For any of you fine individuals out there who are unfamiliar with this term, I am here to enlighten you. My dad always used it to refer to the innermost part of one's self- that part of you, unscathed and uncontaminated by any outside influence, that speaks absolute truth. That part of you that hopes, believes, and dreams, despite all protestations and arguments to the contrary by those who can be called by no other name than "haters". If you are one of these said "haters", I realize that I cannot expect you to have any idea what I'm talking about- you've killed your heart of hearts, and until you grow a new one, you will continue to be a "hater". If you don't get help here, please- get help somewhere else. All I'm saying is that you must listen to your heart of hearts above all else. For example, I remember being twelve years old, and like any twelve year old gal in the 90's, I was MADLY, PASSIONATELY, and COMPLETELY devoted to Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I knew in my heart of hearts, that JTT and I would be wed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. Now, reason would have told me then, and now, over a decade later, this cannot and will not happen, but my heart of hearts tells me it's oh, so possible and likely to happen at any moment. So really, all I'm sayin' is that there are plenty of "haters" out there willing to tell you what's in your heart of hearts, what should be there, or what's wrong with it, but all any one of us can do in this life is follow that innermost ray of hope that defies all odds and takes us to places we never thought we'd reach. All you can do is follow your heart....
Incidentally... If any of you run into JTT, let him know I'd like a summer wedding...
