LOOK UP,
I used to take every step with an
unnecessarily cautious attitude. I would believe that if I ever missed a line,
life would take my stumble as a threat and push my soul from a cliff. Now, I only
look up. Now, I can finally see the stars. I finally remembered to look up and
see the stars. If I cannot, I simply imagine them and they become my reality. I
am no longer chasing lines. I am no longer chasing scratches. The stars, well,
I am not chasing them, either. They are just there every time I want to see
them. I am no longer creating the cliffs that I end up running from. Everything
that used to burn up and set fire to my chest became the ashes that fade with
the wind every time I remember to look up. Every wisteria that tangled around
my feet became daisies and they only make me feel free.
“Remember to look up at
the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and
wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.”
