Yellow... Reprint
Of all the things I ever wrote in my blogs, this would have to be the most meaningful.. and with this come my sincerest apologies and gratitude to a good friend... I wrote this almost a year ago..
Yellow
look at the stars
look how they shine for you...
it's my current favorite song right now. i'd sing it at night in my bed, and i just end up crying at the last two lines. when something is that beautiful, it's definitely worth some tears.
my friend, the sterngeliebter, has taught me a really beautiful thing. he once told me that for sure he would be able to influence me in a great way. maybe he has.
stars are really wonderful creatures. astronomy used to be (and remains to be) one of my most hated science subjects,next to physics of course, because they just talk of the diameters and temperatures of celestial bodies. we don't need to know how big a star is. we just need to see how beautiful it is.
i believe that stars are alive. they breathe as much as we do, and wish as much as we do. i remember being asked at the first day of junior year about a something that i want to be. i drew a star.
stars are lovely because eversince, they have been brave enough to be exclamation points amidst the mundane nothingness of the universe.
we all know that the sun is also a star, but i'd really rather be just a star. not a red star, blue star or neutron star. just a small yellow star. shining quietly.
stars are lovely because they have never been selfish. they chose to shine. and shine not just for themselves.
i have never really imagined what it feels to be a star. many people dream of becoming stars - superstars and megastars, but i would like to be just a dwarf star. i have been tired of trying to outshine the rest,and i know it's something that i can never do. neither can i just belnd in with the darkness, i was not born for that.
i just want to shine quietly and shine for you too.
