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 love looking up at the stars every night, and it's one of those things that actually feels worth the snapshot. It feels cozy to recognize planets and stars (and our faithful friend Orion). It really never gets old for me, and even though the images aren't remarkable, looking back at them transports me to moments of simple special presence with myself.

i’ve lived in the same neighborhood my whole life and we get little-to-no light pollution. i always loved coming home at night with my mom or grandparents and staring at the stars as one of them parked our car and unlocked our door. i noticed the stars again sometime last winter, and now i always take a beat to stop and look at them before i go inside 🫶🏾

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’m always scared to be like “omg weren’t we in that writing class together two years ago??” because what if they have no recollection and then i look crazy but other people have done that to me twice this week and i didn’t think they were crazy either time, it just made me really happy they remembered

still new to this but i just decorated the cover of this little notebook to write down one thing each day that made me happy. been an avid journal-er for a while but i’ve found i tend to write to untangle negative emotions and i want to remember the good things too! plus now i’m actively searching for and remembering happy things throughout my day to write down :)
