“	It's a pretty common belief that women tend to use the left, more emotional side of their brain and men the right, more logical side. But is it really that cut and dry? It seems when it comes to affairs of the heart, there's a battle between what we know and what we feel. So, what do you do when you find yourself in a situation that leaps back and forth between the left and right side? When it comes to relationships, is it smarter to follow your heart or your head?	”
	— Carrie
