The Heart is A Muscle

If you were to ask a group of cynical women what the most over-rated muscle is, they would probably say either the penis or the heart. The first answers reasons are pretty clear, but the heart has another story behind it. 

There are a lot of sayings about the heart. You tug on my heart strings, my heart belongs to you, you're in my heart, or you broke my heart. All of those sentences have the potential of tragedy, and I think that's why the heart gets such a bad rap. 

The heart is both the most appreciated and reveared muscle of the body. When you're in love, it seems to beat a little faster, flutter a little more. When you're out of it, it seems to out-of-rhythm, confused a little. But for those people I say; there is hope yet.

We've established that the heart is a muscle, yes? Well, like any other muscle you have to work it out, give from it what you can. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. But then some silly boy comes around and tears it in two. What's a young lady to do? Don't worry. Your heart will heal, in fact, it will come back stronger, because when your heart is torn, with time, it puts itself back together, and you get scar tissue. This tissue is stronger than what was there before, so it becomes harder for someone to hurt it anymore, but at the same time, makes the entire muscle a little stronger to do what it does best. Keep you alive, keep you in love, keep you going when you're not.
