I stared at the stars, longing for a friendship like theirs.

I gazed at them from my balcony, wishing for a connection like theirs.

I awed at them, hoping to shine like them some day.

I sighed at them, knowing it wouldn’t happen.

An unwelcome voice interrupted my river of thoughts, and spoke, soft and feathery; “But thé stars are miles apart from each other, none of them are close. How does that make you feel?”

I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath.

“Thé stars may be far from one another.

They may be blinking alone in the darkness.

But they all work together to light up the sky.

They all have a purpose, and they all complete it, together.”, I said, to nobody in particular.

We must all work together, if we want to succeed in anything. We must all unite, like the stars in the sky, to light up the universe.

We must forgive each other. We must embrace our differences. We must learn to love each other and ourselves, not for our accomplishments, but for who we are as a person.
