Everyone looks up at the night sky and go “Oh look at all the pretty stars!” and “It sure is beautiful” and all the usual phrases. And I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that; they’re right, it is beautiful
But what about the details? What about the things they can’t see, masked by the intense glare of the universe’s light bulbs? Stars take all the credit, sprinkling the sky with light, but what about the planets that orbit them? No one ever talks about the planets, that no one sees or cares about because they’re so busy looking at the stars. Millions of planets, each one unique and different from every other planet, hurtling through space at a breakneck speed. Some are ice cold and barren, some are boiling hot, some are giant balls of gas pretending to be suns, and some might even have just the right conditions for life. Who knows?
Everyone looks up at the night sky and praises the stars for their light. But who remembers the planets, hiding in the shadows, being different from everyone else?
If you’re upset or depressed that everyone around you is hogging the spotlight, don’t worry. All those famous people? They’re bright and beautiful and interesting, sure. But they’re all the same. Stars aren’t as varied as the planets. Each planet has a different story, different appearance, different climate. It’s the people in the shadows, hidden in the crowd and by their anonymity, that are really, truly unique. Those are the people I’m interested in learning about.
Sometimes you meet a person and you just click - you’re comfortable with them, and you don’t have to pretend to be anyone or anything.

Well, this is quite... eggcellent. I’m very eggcited to have this power. This will be eggstremely fun.
here’s a random word generator–whatever word it gives you is now the thing you are the deity of
There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt; swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe.. and you.
