i know the sunset seems discouraging

but the mix of

red,

orange,

and yellow

is actually quite satisfying.


people say the sunset

is the end of a day,

the end of everything.


i don’t think so.


because the sunset is the start of something new.

the start of the night.


just think about it for a second.

you can only see one star during the day

(the sun)

but you can see millions at night

(if you turn off the lights).


so now consider it

and stop treating the sunset as the end of something.

it would be like if i said to you

“you’re worthless”

you’re actually not

and neither is the sunset

because the beautiful

red,

orange,

and yellow

is, well…


Beautiful.
