almost every night i go outside. usually to have a smoke before i go to bed, but mostly, to look at the stars.
i dont know what about the stars that captivates me so deeply. i think its the fact that on earth, we are so tiny compared to the universe out there. it makes you think about your life more, it makes you appreciate every single second you live on earth.
the clear night sky is one of the most beautiful things i have ever encountered. soon, it will be the dead of winter. it will be too cold for me to go outside and star gaze. but for now, for these last couple weeks before the true winter hits, i will cherish the night sky.
it honestly doesnt matter if its cloudy or not, i still go outside and seek the stars. some nights, i feel like they know i want to look at them, because the clouds part, and for those few precious moments, the stars peek out from beneath the clouds and shine down upon me.
even though the stars make me think twice about my life, they also always remind me of the love of my life. they always bring me right back to her eyes. the stars could never compare to how brightly she shines in my life. it doesnt matter how big or small, how dull or dim, large clusters or one single star, they always bring me back to her.
we are separated by alot. family, distance, age, acceptance. but what brings us together is the sky. it has from the very beginning. the stars have been a very large part of our relationship and i think thats a big reason why i cherish them so much.
theres no good way to wrap this up, so i’ll just end it with this: dont overlook what have been given to you. whether they be big or small. whether it be the night sky, the air we breathe, the home we live in, or the heart that beats inside us. cherish the little things. harbor the big things. appreciate what you have. because i know i do.
