The Stars are on Our Side

by Jennifer Hartmann

Love at first sight isn’t a real thing—I know that. But there is certainly a something at first sight. A jolt, a magnetic draw, a heartbeat that skips and a world that narrows down, focusing on nothing but the space between you and that other person. It’s a moment when intuition overpowers reason and butterflies burst to life inside of you, their delicate wings tickling your heart.

The thing is, hope can be a savior, or it can be an executioner. There’s no way to know which way the cards will fall. Only time will tell, and time is just as unpredictable as hope.

“The heart is a complicated beast. Sometimes it wants, and sometimes it hurts to want.”

“Time spent loving another is never time wasted. In fact, I’m apt to believe it’s the only time that truly matters in this life.”
