Stars Don’t Speak
Stars Don’t Speak Last night, I stood under the sky for a long time, just staring at the stars. I don’t even know what I was searching for anymore. Maybe comfort. Maybe answers. Or maybe just a reason to feel okay again. Everything was quiet. The streets were empty, the wind was cold, and the world felt far away. Above me, the stars kept shining like they always do — beautiful, distant, silent. And that’s the strange thing about stars. They never speak, yet somehow they understand every feeling we hide inside ourselves. I thought about the people who once meant everything to me. The ones who promised they would stay forever but slowly became strangers. It hurts how someone can be such a big part of your life one day and only a memory the next. For a moment, I wished the stars could talk. I wanted them to explain why people change, why memories stay, and why some goodbyes never really feel complete. But the sky stayed silent. Still, standing there beneath those lights in the darkness, I realized something — maybe healing doesn’t always come with answers. Sometimes, it comes from simply surviving another night and believing that someday your heart will feel lighter again. So I kept looking at the stars, even in silence. Because maybe they don’t speak… but they remind us that even in the darkest nights, there is still light somewhere above us.

Man Sober
1. My creativity rendered me powerless over confusing potential with reality, which led to my romantic life becoming highly fictionalized. I turned three good conversations, one vulnerable admission, and a shared interest in rock music into a thirty-year emotional forecast.
