I went today back from the airport in the car, it was midnight, and there were barely any lights on the highway; I didn’t want to sleep (somehow???) so I watched the stars. There were so many of them!!! I sat in awe and just talked silently to myself.
And I got this longing, as if I belonged there and not here, on Earth; and I thought about so many things.
Here are some of the most memorable and important ideas I got:
The stars are sO BEAUTIFUL
How did the ancient people look at the stars?? As far as I know, people have always looked at them in awe and wonder. But what did they look like to people when the people were just slightly intelligent monkeys, when the stars weren’t even called “stars” yet? Had they looked up at the night sky, saw the small twinkling fairy lights and thought, and wondered what they were? Had they gotten that magical feeling of just being, just existing? Had they gotten at least a slight understanding of how small they( the people ) were, in this big universe? Had they just watched them and felt calm? When personality wasn’t really even such a complicated thing yet, how did different people react? Did some get scared, of those small weird things in the sky following them around all night long? We just don’t know…
When we die, if our consciousness doesn’t dissolve completely into nothingness and we have a “soul” or something similar, can we go and see the stars?? That would be fun
Stars are light years apart, but from Earth we see them in groups, and name them “constellations”. Humans long before us named them weird or cute names because they saw something in those twinkling lights in the sky. They thought of stars, or rather groups of them as we see them from here (Earth) as living creatures, or omens, or signs from - well, wherever, depends on what you believe. They made horoscopes, and believed that they could see into the future with them. They believed that stars were majestical and mysterious, but they didn’t make a scary tale of it like they did with many things on Earth: like those WEIRD SOUNDS IN THE FOREST or those DEEP DARK SEAS AND OCEANS or MOUNTAIN CAVES. The people looked at them and saw beauty in them, even when they didn’t actually know what they were. And with hundreds and hundreds of years of research, the beauty didn’t cease to exist - it all only got better.

i wish i could share the mini movies i create in my head every time an idea pops into it, instead of opening my notes app, staring at the blank page for several minutes trying to find the right words to accurately describe every detail, and finally feeling immensely frustrated because i can't manage to put into coherent sentences what in my mind keeps playing over and over again, until i lose all hint of inspiration and the pattern repeats itself again as the hours go by. It really makes me sick.
