Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars---Henry Van Dyke
I almost lost all the reasons to smile when my world fell apart. But while sitting in the veranda of our house I saw the little stars that gave shine in the night. I remember how my bestfriends loved the stars. During our college, they would always tell me how they would go star gazing before they go to sleep.
I did some star gazing last night. The stars reminded me of how many billion people there are on this planet and how they struggle to outshine each other. Just like the stars, some are bright some are not. I smile at the thought. Once upon a time, my star was the brightest. But I wasnt happy then. There are somethings that I want but I could not have because of the shine I emitted. Everything has a price.....even happiness.
Now I believe that life is indeed fair. I am a shineless star but I am content and glad with what I have. I may not be the happiest person, but atleast smile didnt abandon my face afterall that had happened.
Back on the stars, there is only one constellation that I can name its the Orion. It facinates me how imaginative those people who named the constellation. Hello!!! You can only recognize Orion's belt! After an hour of neck breaking gaze at the stars, my mom finally called me to wash the dishes. (aww...)
