William Reed wrote, “The sky contains it all. It is the canvas on which the entire universe is written.”
I look to the sky in times of adversity. The stars often remind me just how vast the universe is, and suddenly my afflictions become manageable. I am reminded of how beautiful the world is when I see the birds fly in formation overhead; when I see the sun set and the sun rise; when I look on at the moon and feel connected to everyone from all of time who have done just the same.

i’ve always been kinda scared of it and i think the day i’m able to stargaze in complete peace is the day i fully understand myself. every time i look up at that big dark expanse dotted with stars and planets i struggle to conceptualize the vastness of the universe and find myself honing in more on my very presence on this planet. it’s not that i feel small, in fact, quite the opposite. looking at the night sky makes me very aware of my life and the rarity of it all

I believe the answers are up there, I think. Or, like, in a good book or a good song, but even then those are often inspired by sunny/rainy/starry days/nights, in my opinion.
I don’t know.
Sometimes when I try to pretend I’m important, when I’m tired of not being known the way I wish I was, I look up to the sky and I go “AHHHHHHHHHH!” (in my head because I have neighbours! i am NOT crazy!) and there might not be anyone up there, but I feel heard for a second, I guess. It’s just so pretty, too. I like that. With the clouds. With the stars. The little planes, too. I just wish people looked up a little more, I guess.

Look at the clouds and the stars. Learn their names and stories. Remember how small you are. Remember how important you are.

Every memory is as crisp and clear as the day it was made. The good ones which I daydream about, and the bad ones which make me nauseous. I don’t like the latter very much but my brain seems to; playing them like film on the back of my eyelids while I try to sleep.
I don’t know if I would recommend this actually…

This is the most devastating book I've ever read. It is one of my favorites. It will make you appreciate the good times even more.
