"...i like things simple. i'm not sweet, but i'm not savoury. you leave me alone long enough, and i'll become sour. some people love me, some people don't. take it or leave it." why do they call her honey? "i sweeten the deal. i ooze gold. a treasure from the Gods. the colour of sun rays on a hot day . words from my mouth leave that decadent taste on your tongue. loved by many, hated by few." they are opposites that cannot help but be good with the other. one by themselves is almost improbable. of course it's possible, they're okay on their own, they have to be. but together? together, they make each other better. that's what it's all about.

Isn't it strange that humans have never found any form of life outside of our planet? There are at least two billion stars in our Milky Way, and one hundred billion galaxies exist in just the observable universe alone. Maybe we're just not searching hard enough. Maybe other life is out there and just isn't intelligent enough to grasp the idea of other worlds. But what if it is? And it's just waiting for the right time to strike.
