My thoughts about the stars

Stars, a stellar object from space. Whether they are unreachable or not, they will always shine. Whether visible from the skies or not, they will always shine. So long as they can hold on, they will always shine. It is unfortunate that some stars are rarely seen due to the vast amount of stars in the sky. They are beautiful, but they have no meaning until one provides them meaning. Sometimes, stars outshine other stars.

But no matter how bright they seem, all stars will always share the same composition as other stars. They will always be lumps of matter and gas that wander through the open sea of stars, tearing through its darkness.

Stars cannot fly forever through infinity. They are destined to be torn apart by time, they are destined to collapse. However, being torn apart by time doesn’t mean demise for a star, it means for it to be metamorphosed.

Nonetheless, those who are far away from a star will never be able to witness this event by just looking at the starlight above; not at their current time, at least. The light that it emits is not what it appears to be; as it is most likely from the distant past. It takes years for it to travel to faraway places, it takes years for it to show to its observers when it has truly died.

Alas, the observer's gaze cannot remain forever. They too are ephemeral, just like a star. Such a beautiful thing cannot be seen by them, such an observer that exists cannot be acknowledged by a star. It is ironic that beings like us find beauty in the glowing dots of the sky.
