What does it mean to be fortunehearted?
Well, first I'd say it opens us up to wonder what's inside of us. To ask what the heart is, what it desires, what it craves. Is it the same in all of us?
Most likely it isn't, not in the minutiae at least. Everybody seems to live it out differently. But do we all have a heart that longs for love? Longs to be loved?
We've hurt people with this heart, other times love has poured out of it. What is more untrustworthy but the heart?
We feel it stabbed when somebody turns on us, we ache and we yearn, so much so that sometimes we can only function by ignoring it.
But to be fortunehearted means to never let it go. In the face of a world that struggles against hope, attempts to crush illusion and to shatter the unreasonable, to be fortunehearted means to never let go of what is inside. The heart that is screaming at us that this world will get better, people will learn to care and to care for others.
I am FortuneHearted.
