Life : gazing stars

 
Just got back from Genting Highlands!
Had a wonderful camp, lovely people.
Amazing memories.
But one of the highlights was the fact that i got the chance to witness shooting stars.
I may now live a happy life.
the skies were clear up the hill.
the starry night sky was just mesmerizing.
each star shined at its own brightness and sizes.

* it was very much like this, the closest I could get from the internet!

that's when the overthinker inside me becomes alive.
so, what if the people we meet in life is very much like gazing stars?
just like stars shining bravely amongst the cloudy skies -
those are the people whom you look up to.
the people whom you rely on most when you need comfort.
those around you, living their life as a purpose to shine in your life.
 
then there are people like the stars shining weakly in the sky -
they are the ones supporting you from afar.
those looking up to you.
those loving you even when you know not of their existence.
 
last but not least, the ones like shooting stars -
these are the ones which capture your attention the most.
you would strain your neck just to catch that one second glimpse of that shooting star.
so fast, so rare, too exciting that after that one second, you find yourself reluctant to leave, wanting to catch yet another glimpse of that shooting star.

Now, what if our whole life,
we've been busy chasing those shooting stars so much that we miss our on the stars embedded so beautifully on God's canvas we call sky.
what if we take for granted the love and support we have or had,
in exchange for something more exciting yet less promising and
a momentary pleasure that can never stay but keep you asking for more?
