What are Stars?



Stars are little bits of our hearts put up in the sky so we can see and share them with the people that we love, in hopes that they can't hurt those parts of out hearts, but sometimes we forget that's what they are, and when the bits of our hearts that we kept with us and gave to other people are hurt, we think that's all the heart we have and we lose sight of ever repairing our hearts. But that's what the stars are for. We never get those shards of our hearts back, but they can help us heal better than anything we have around us, but we have to seek them out and use them or they can't help us. It can be hard to remember then, and even harder when the weather isn't right or the glow from the streetlamps fills up the sky with so much light that they block out the night, but if we remember then, they will inevitably and assuredly make us whole again. We never again get to hold them, or put them back in our hearts, but they are far more valuable to us where they are if we are willing to take the time to use them, because unlike the heart we keep with us, they will never break, never be lost, and can radiate to us an endless amount of hope and healing. There's a reason we all unconsciously look to the sky when we are in pain, or desperately in need of help of any kind. Our hearts are reminding us of the missing pieces tucked away in the midnight blue of a clear night that are anxiously watching and waiting to help us heal. That is what stars are.
