Nothing. Can you imagine it? I don’t mean darkness, but a genuine lack of anything. They say space is a vacuum, as if it’s alien to us. But we’re the outliers. If we adults are mere newborns, space is an elder who refuses to die. If Earth is a gnat, space is the universe. The space between stars is just that. Space. An empty place that can be filled or left alone for an eternity. We aren’t special. We got lucky that we’re here, but what does that mean for us. It means we can live our best lives, not caring what others think about us because they are here by chance too. So what truly is the space between stars? It’s an opportunity to look inward and see that out of all the time that everything has existed, we live here. Now. We aren’t alone because we have each other, all here happening to exist at the same time and working towards a better future for everyone and everything. Space is nothing, and space is everything. Space is hope.
