 A time my mind wanted something different from my heart was when I had to go to the hospital for mental health. My heart really did not want to go because it was hard to be away from my friends. I couldn't have anything with me and felt so lonely. Logically, I knew that I needed to get help, and my mom convinced me to take the step to get the help I needed, even though it was hard.

Today in class we read another Emily Dickinson poem about how it feels to try to get over your past relationships. 

I know more about how to navigate the difference between what the mind wants and what the heart wants.
