“The glitter in the sky looks as if I could scoop it all up in my hands and let the stars swirl and touch one another but they are so distant so very far apart that they cannot feel the warmth of each other even though they are made of burning.”

- Beth Revis
Deep‑sky astrophoto of a dense, glittering globular star cluster set against a dark, sparsely starred background. I laid in the field while taking this, overthinking about everything as usual. This time felt different, a thousand emotions burning inside much like the stars themselves in my photo. A night where I felt too much, but where the stars felt back at me. There's an empty inside me now, one that I can't fill with my partner who loves me, and friends who like me. A deep longing, an eternal loneliness. A darkness between the stars. Maybe if I take enough star photos, I can fill that void with light, fill that space with the shape and thought of you... and other fun lies I tell myself.
