The Skies Without Stars

In the hushed corridors of Jose Rizal University, where the whispers of eager minds echo against the walls of academia, there walked Nathan, a first-year student with dreams as vast as the cosmos itself. While his peers busied themselves with earthly pursuits, Nathan's gaze was fixed upon the heavens, where stars danced in an eternal ballet of light and wonder.

With each step he took, Nathan pondered the mysteries of space and time, his heart aching for the embrace of a love as boundless as the universe itself. Yet, amidst the vast expanse of his thoughts and dreams, he found himself adrift in a sea of longing, unable to grasp the love he so fervently sought.

But in the quiet moments between lectures and late-night stargazing sessions, Nathan found solace in the beauty of the cosmos, finding in its infinite expanse a reflection of his own restless soul. For in the twinkling of distant stars and the swirling of far-off galaxies, he saw the promise of adventure and discovery, a reminder that even in the darkest of nights, there is always light to guide the way.
