"The moment you fall in love feels like it has centuries behind it, generations-all of them rearranging themselves to this precise, remarkable intersection happen. In your heart, in your bones, no matter how silly you know it is, you feel that everything has been leading to this, all the secret arrows were pointing here, the universe and time itself crafted this long ago, and you are just now realizing it, you are just now arriving at the place you were always meant to be."
D. Levithan, Every Day
