Flittering my eyes over the various definitions of 'heart', I wanted to create my own definition of 'heart'.

Heart. The word 'heart' is a noun for a red muscular pump which beats at an average pace of 80-90 beats per minute. It is one of the most vital organs in which blood is giving oxygen as it flows through to keep a living thing alive.

The word 'heart' is a word used to describe one's emotions and desires. To 'win someone's heart' means that the person's affection was won over. To have 'a broken heart' means that a person's desire(s) have been shattered and disapproved of.

'Heartstrings' are tendons which were formerly believed to brace and sustain the heart. This word also means one's deepest feelings or affections. To 'pull his/her heartstrings' is to take said person's emotions by the reins and embrace it.

So what does your heart mean to you?
