The Night Sky
My response to a question.
What do I see when I look at the stars? A whole lot.
But it’s less about what I see and more about what I think.
It’s very hard to believe that we are the only one’s out there. Not so much in the universe, but more just on Earth. There’s what, over 6 Billion people in the world and yet we only know a couple hundred. Even then, what do we really know about those people? How much do we really care?
As human beings we are naturally selfish. We really don’t care about others, even as much as we say we do. No, seriously, think about it. Would you give your life for someone else’s? Sure, maybe someone really close to you, but what about someone walking down the street? We really only care about ourselves.
How many times have we walked by someone in the hall and never give them a second thought? That one person could have changed our lives and we would never know. It’s actually kind of sad. And what about all those people around the world with much larger problems than whether someone is upset with them or not. Can you even imagine replacing all of our ‘problems’ with question of where you’d sleep that night, or where your next meal is coming from, or worse, knowing that you are going to die before you even get a chance to live? What would you do if your parents were already dead and you had to be completely self sufficient? Life would be terrible.
Yet, all these people look up at the exact same sky we do. Why is it that we were so lucky to have a family who loves us, a home to go to every night, and a meal on our plate when we’re hungry? What makes us so special?
Even closer to home. Every night someone close to you looks at the same moon you see. Everyone sees it differently, yet it means so much to so many people. Some people see it as a sign, some something that’s comforting, and others something that they fear. Me? I see it as a symbol. It’s something that tells me I’m still going, that the world isn’t as bad as I see it now. In a couple of hours that moon will be gone and it will be morning, and that day will bring something new, something the previous didn’t, whether that be good or bad. It’s always a new day, always room for change and improvement.
Everyone sees something different no matter what they’re looking at. The night sky is just something that is intriguing since it’s so foreign to us.
Personally, I love it.

Agh
Okay, so I've tried writing this like 3 times now, so let's see if this one makes it. I just want to make it perfectly clear that I am not mad, sad, upset, angry or anything. I just need to vent, again. Hopefully no one takes this personally.
I can't seem to avoid this drama. It doesn't matter where I go anymore. I tried ignoring things and just letting them go, but clearly that didn't work. I pulled myself out of my group of friends, best friends, because of the drama, and that was not the right path to take. I am so lucky that they are willing to take me back with open arms. I really don't know what I was thinking to be honest.

"Mel, your closer to most of our hearts then he is, you never have to feel excluded."
That honestly made my night. This is coming from someone that I haven't really talked to in a while. Sure, I've taken care of him a few times this month, but nothing over the top.
He made my night.
P.S. The hugs help me as well =]
