Reach for the stars

by HOLLYBXBE   Sep 1, 2008


I love that first moment of the night, when you catch a glimpse of all of the stars. Its like all of the bad, and the hurt of the day melts off of your body and you are lost in the depth of the dark canvas. I always think about how many other people, are doing that exact same thing at the same moment as i am. Loosing themselves in the abundance of darkness. There are tons of things people do to clear there minds or to relax, this is what i do. Ramble about useless information and try to make an impression on some stranger. My head never takes a break, I'm always thinking, good or bad, I'm always thinking. This is my release. I don't talk specifics, but i just graze the surface. I'm almost, overwhelmed with the world. I'm getting older and making choices that could very well make or break the rest of my life. And I'm so scared that in the mist of it all, i will have to watch the thing i love most fall apart. I often distance myself if i know that I'm going to hurt someone- or be hurt my someone. But in the meantime, it just makes everything so much worse. So i take ten minutes of my time, when it gets dark and i sit under the stars and reassure myself that in the end, if i just release everything that i have been keeping inside, everything will be fine

    Hello again!

    This really struck a chord with me because I do the same thing sometimes. It really does put things into perspective, doesn't it? It makes you realise that, however big you think your problems are, they fade away in the vastness of the universe.
    A lovely, honest write.
