The Sun Is Also a Star

by Nicola Yoon

There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.

Why settle? Why choose the practical thing, the mundane thing? We are born to dream and make the things we dream about.”
