Favorite Quote:
“And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened.” —Douglas Coupland

We watch the stars
As they dance on the dark night sky
Wishing
And wanting
To be one
A star that can see everything
A star that doesn't feel pain
But the secret is
Once it has had too much
It explodes
Leaving nothing
But its tiny mark
In the universe
Barely visible by anyone
