i am not the night sky

although we are similar in the fact that i am not always clear and i don't always look pretty in pictures

this is for one simple reason

i am human

and i cannot be compared to an object

even as complex as the sky, i am by far more complex than it could ever be

i feel things and i think through things

i try new things and sometimes i change how i look

i add variety in my life and nothing can change that fact

to compare a human, like myself, is abnormal

because how could something so simple every compare to the vastness that a human holds

it shouldn't be spoken of or let alone be thought of

but it is because we as a species are constantly trying to find ourselves in things 

whether they be other humans or something as simple as the night sky

we always wish to see bits of ourselves and feel a connection with 

this bit of information should shine light on a fact

we should be able to find security within ourselves

but it is rather difficult when society and other people try to push the idea that we will see ourselves in something

because that is not always the case

and to try to make ourselves seem so simple is so absolutely absurd

because what makes us human is our expansive ability to be unique

to be incomparable is what it means to be human


The author's comments:

sometimes i try to find myself in others and when i can't i get dissapointed. but then i stopped and i realized that there is nobody else like me and there is nothing else that is like me in all aspects. and i thought it was beautiful to accept that. although most would fear being alone in some sense, i've viewed it as a tool to use what is good about me to benefit all the other individuals i meet.
