As I gaze up at the night sky, the stars and the moon seem to be near, as if they are within arm's reach. However, the reality is that they are separated by vast distances, much like many things in life. The truth can sometimes be elusive, and it can be challenging to discern what is truly close to us.

I can't describe the feeling of being alone, but I can show you. It's like the world we are always with people around us, no matter what we do. Yet the tiniest feeling of loneliness lingers.

Are we that far apart, or maybe we are just like the stars trying to reach a moon, yet never coming close enough?

I wish this was all so easy, but I know that even the biggest things are always hard to find.

The journey of friendship is like a never-ending circle, yet it can come to an end in one fell swoop. I kept looking for my moon, yet it was always staring right at me, shining and showing me the way through these dark days.

I'm barely a star, yet the moon warms my heart.All Rights Reserved

I try not to stare most of the time, but for some reason, tonight, I just couldn't look away. I've seen many pretty girls before in so many different places; Including the light rail, but for some reason tonight, she was just so much lovelier than any other girl I've ever seen. Why am I even getting worked up over her anyways? It's not like I'll ever see her again. Well, that's a perfect excuse to keep looking! I'll never see her again, so why does it matter if I continue to look. Well then, that settles it. I'll continue to look... He was right. Normally, when I see a cute girl, I'm like eh, but because she's just so pretty, and also because I don't have much time left, I might as well. "I mean, come on dude, You might as well." What a perfect sign. I just said it, and now he just said it. Definitely means I gotta do it. I wanted to text him back to let him know I was going to. Even though he probably thinks ill chicken out at the last second. "Your right. I might as well."

MOON by 123shyne18

"Just like the moon you are. Shining so bright in the darkness of the night. Reflecting one's shadow. Like the mirror, you're giving off beauty to a beauty, madness to a madness, heartbeat to a heartbeat, misery to a misery. You are nothing but my own reflection" He said, looking at me sideways. I stare at him deeply. It was so unexpected of him to say something in a metaphorical way, especially in this time of an event. "Always remember, we are under the same sky, looking at the same moon." I replied anyway... The story follows a teenage girl, stuck with her own, pathetic thoughts. Experiencing a moment of loneliness, difficulty making new friends, problems involving her family, social life, betrayal, death, and questioning her own existence. She thought her life would come to a lonely, and tragic end, yet she didn't know the day would finally come when she least expected it. She'd never knew the day would also come when she got transferred into a school she thought she'd never get to fit in, and when she got to meet this one guy, who believes no one else but himself. She fell in love but she believes she didn't receive the same feelings. Feel free to read this sad, and lonely life of a teenager. Explore the diverse world of high school romance, teamwork and friendship, slice of life and character developments this story will get you into. There's more to it than meets the eye..

The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more. But when Haley's admission into her dream college and another tragedy in Xavier's life threaten to undo everything she has worked for, Haley needs to decide if she'll stick by Xavier or simply be another person in his life that disappears.

"Why do you care if I kiss other girls? We're not together, we're friends" he stated swallowing his emotions. "You're right, why should I care?

The Bad Boy Saved Me by Pentatonix21

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?
