Or is it something that can be worked on, like a delicious recipe that is passed through generations and tweaked along the way? It is always ultimately your choice, whether you follow your head or your heart. But most of all, follow your first instincts and do what you think will work for you in the long run to be able to make the best of things in any situation.
