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.

Life is too short to waste precious time on people who don’t appreciate and value you—family or not.

“I’ll take your leftover pieces. I’ll cherish those pieces. And I’ll spend my whole damn life doing everything in my power to make your heart whole again.”
