I am a star.

I stand still unnoticed in the day, but shines uncovered at night. My father reigns supreme in the day, while my mother rules majestically at night. I am the son of the sun, mothered by the moon. I am a star amongst the stars. I believe in myself; I represent the universe and I worship the only God Almighty. I am not alone; I am a star amongst stars. Alone, I shine bright. Together, we shine brighter. Thus, the sun shine brightest. I am here for me; we are here for all of us. Together, we are forever stronger.

I know that I know. You know that you know. We know that we know. Even though we are lost at times, we still find our ways at last, either dead or alive. I am not perfect, but I am full of potentials and limitless possibilities. I don’t need to look in the mirror to see myself, because my mind mirrors my soul. I know who I was, I love who I am, and I am positive about who I will be. My past was not perfect, my present may not be too presentable, but that doesn’t mean that my future won’t be fruitful. I worry less and work more, for I am always cautious not to cry. But sometimes, I cry; it is alright to cry. When trials arise, I remain strong, till I see to the departure of their arrivals.

Risks and rewards. In sounds and silence, a star always smiles and shines. If you give your best, you deserve the best. Find comfort in your pains, because stars emerge from the smokes. No matter how hot it burns and hurts, don’t halt and resist being burnt. The scars are signatures of your story, while the stains are the sweeteners. Trust and believe, for you are a star. A star must be brave to shine bright. When clouds cover your way, remain still, for they will go away as they came; because light dismisses darkness. There can only be one of you, but there are many of us, as there are many of them. First, you learn to live alone. Then, you learn to live with others. You must master the art of tolerating yourself, then learn the act of tolerating others. Anyone can shine as they want, but they must know that they don’t shine alone. While you shine, allow others to shine too. Light don’t fight light, for the fight is against darkness and destructions.

Dearly beloved, be brave. Shine bright without blinking, and smile while you wink. We come and we go, and the universe still stays the same. While the merry goes round, the mourning also goes around. One day it is sweet, another day it is sour. But with courage, one can conquer challenges. Shine bright, stay sane and stay in your lane. Don’t bite your tongue because it is bitter; that it is sweet, doesn’t make it better. Stars don’t compete with each other, for each shine in its full strength and differently. There is enough space for everyone, you only need to find your own place at your own pace. Time is never against anybody and anything, for everyone and everything have their different times. All is well must not necessarily end well; at least, they were once well and that can be enough. Beloved, enjoy the good times and endure the bad times; for everyone and everything shall fade with time. Nobody and nothing shine forever, for stars also fades and dies.
