Slivers of Light

22 | Night Sky

How come the night sky is dark? How come there are spaces between the stars if the universe is infinite? It is because the universe is still young; it's still growing. It is finite. And just like that, the night sky of your life is young and dark. And the more you grow, the more stars will be birthed into your life's night sky. They'll fill up the night sky of your life. And one day, you will find yourself looking up at a shimmering white sky, and you will see every happy and sad memory twinkling and glittering in the sky that used to be as dark as obsidian. So, when you look up and see the big dark spaces between each and every star, remind yourself that those dark spaces are a possibility for a million other stars to come and dwell. Your night sky will shimmer and glitter simply because you kept going, simply because you kept on living.
