small

there are times when i love just staring out into the night sky and pondering and wondering. call me a fool but i'm just so fascinated by the idea that some of those pinpricks of light i see in the sky took millions of years to reach my eyes. and the places they originated from are humongous, gargantuan stars, some of which would make our good old sun look like its suffering from anorexia. Some of those places don't even exist anymore. in the time it took for the light to reach the earth, those stars have gone nova and exploded, taking entire solar systems, perhaps entire civilisations and what not with them. forming black holes that are so powerful that not even light can escape them.

it makes me feel so small.
