Quotes / When It Comes to Matters of the Heart...

This is easy enough to understand, and true enough for many of us.  It is neither unique nor profound, but could be amusing if you focused on economy of language.  Lose ‘unfortunately’ as it lends little but a negative ‘spin’ and is inaccurate (the rest of your thought isn’t about luck.)  The last part is awkwardly worded.  ’think with my head’ is redundant.  Consider…  ”When it comes to matters of the heart, I never use my head.”  Much more polished, rhythmic and open to the reader’s imagination.

“Unfortunately” is intentionally placed to put a negative spin on the phrase since thinking with the heart instead of the head usually leads to a hard lesson learned.  

I’ll try to come up with a more original turn of phrase on the “thinking with my head” part.  

Thank you for the suggestions and the review!
