-Nicola Yoon, The sun is also a star

I’m not a cynic. I am a realist. It’s better to see life as it is, not as you wish it to be. Things don’t happen for a reason. They just happen. “Oh well. Whatever. Nevermind.” Instead of being ruled by logic, we are ruled by emotions. The world would be a happier place if the opposite were true. People spend their whole lives looking for love. Poems and songs and entire novels are written about it. But how can you trust something that can end as suddenly as it begins? They’re not talking about the real heart, the one that only needs healthy foods and aerobic exercise. But the poetic heart is not to be trusted. It is fickle and will lead you astray. It will tell you that all you need is love and dreams. It will say nothing about food and water and shelter and money. love is just chemicals and coincidence. Warsan Shire. You can’t make a home out of human beings We tell ourselves there are reasons for the things that happen, but we’re just telling ourselves stories. We make them up. They don’t mean anything. Natasha is different. She believes in determinism—cause and effect. One action leads to another leads to another. Your actions determine your fate. Sometimes your world shakes so hard, it’s difficult to imagine that everyone else isn’t feeling it too. We think we want all the time in the world with the people we love, but maybe what we need is the opposite. Just a finite amount of time, so we still think the other person is interesting. A simple search for connection. To see. To be seen. The trouble with getting your hopes too far up is: it’s a long way down. Am I making a mistake? Maybe. But it’s mine to make.

The Sun is Also a Star, Nicola Yoon

We are capable of big lives. A big history. Why settle? Why choose the practical thing, the mundane thing? We are born to dream and make the things we dream about.
