They make you feel better, don't they? You don't have to speak. Just listen, and let your soul do the talking. It's like a listening ear, a healing hand, a confidante. Besides, you don't have to trouble your pals. I'm sure they have their own, regardless of the magnitude. It's nice to keep that in mind. Don't be stubborn, but independent.
Hmm.
The night sky's been... cloudy lately. It's so unclear, separates me from the stars.
But I'm much better prepared now. Just one frozen frame of the twinkles, please, at least.

Insignificant, they think they are. Although their warmth is as good as zilch, they're truly inspirational. It's too bad really, that they don't possess those pair of eyes on earth to see from our perspective. A majestic glow of light, in the middle of unimaginable void - such contrast for us. Silently blanketing our night, with humility. Maybe they don't intend to but hey, they're doing it. It's not our fault if we appreciate what they do.
It was the Moon at first, then Mars. What next? I'm sure we'll improve to venture further. Maybe, just maybe, we'll reach the stars. The only problem is.. we're seeing what they were, not what they are. The nearest star is 4.2 light years from us. Others are millions away. By the time their light reaches us, we'll being seeing a remnant - a snapshot of their past. Imagine a spaceship, maybe even astronauts, heading towards a star and when they reach it, the star's already evolved into a different gas class, or a supernova or just gone. Haha! But... I'm pretty sure humans are smart enough to study the stars. Coz for our kind, we travel with the future in mind. Of course we do, right?
But if that actually happens... Do we send our earth ambassadors to the next star, or stick to their survival instincts and head home with the planned amount fuel? That is, if they were actually planning to have a return trip. If they weren't planning to return, that star was their all. If the star is really not what they expected them to be, they'll just be floating around in confusion, aimlessly, with no gravity to pull them anywhere else. We're deluded by their separation from one another here on earth - light years appear to be mere millimetres. Most will say they're common things in the night sky. Well, what's uncommon for them then. Having chics in a bar to treat them tequilas? It's plain different. It's plain oblivion. The astronauts in the particular dilemma know best. Despite their abundance, astronauts perceive them to be extremely rare as the distance from one star to another is just absurd in human terms. It takes so much to get to one, let alone another. I believe that the next stage of admiration is genuine respect. I think these astronauts respect their destinations and it's a.. feeling only they understand.
It's unfortunate that these stars dwarf their visitors. Maybe they won't even notice them at all. Or maybe they do. Maybe to them, it's a privilege to have a unique matter from another corner of the universe within close proximity. Maybe the stars have senses. Maybe the stars are actually less dead than we thought.

But the textbook doesn't say so.
Hah. Our textbooks are mere observations. The more we blindly trust our textbooks, the less we adapt to reality. I guess it's more of a 'textbook for survival' now instead of a 'textbook for knowledge'.

Anyways. I mean really, who knows, except for the stars themselves.
And due to that, I'll gladly treat them with respect, too.
If you didn't know, I have a new Flickr. Click the pic! Ty.
Holy blimey.
Am I drunk or something? *checks water bottle beside me* Hahaha. Must be the water, aye? Hmm, but pardon me. I think at times like this, I speak a different language. I think I really do! Hahaha. And tsk. Don't bother trying google translate.
By the way, did I waste your time? I hope not.
Legaci > Boyce Avenue. Has always been that way. My opinion.
Have you ever re-read a blog post.. at a slower pace?
How about with this legaci cover of jason mraz playing in the background?

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth
with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been,
and there you will always long to return."
