Our lives are made up of infinite stories. Some are like stars. You spend 5 hours before going to bed just staring at them and wondering how they've been made so bright beyond vast darkness. Some are like fallen leaves. They create noise and disturbs you once you step on them, once you remember them. Some are both. Though remembering them makes your heart troubled, you just can't deny how they've been shining so bright in your life all this time.

This... is one of them.
