'First Star I See Tonight..'

12:21am. I walked outside to catch my breath. Actually.. to just TAKE a breath. I looked up at the stars just as I always do when I step outside to listen to the thoughts I've repressed for the whole day. They still sparkled with mystery. They still looked down on me the same way they always have. Watching my every move, ever so silently begging me to wish upon one of them. Every other night I've made a wish, closing my eyes and sending it up towards the shimmering ocean of stars hoping at least one of them would catch it. I sat there for what seemed like hours. Then with the quick jerk of my head, I regained full consciousness of my surroundings. Still sitting there alone, still overwhelmed and drowning in my thoughts. Today was the same color as yesterday, just a slightly different shade. And all the faces in the crowd were blank with no expression. Every face, that is, but mine. I felt like the only bit of color in a black and white movie. The only one speaking in a silent film. At first glance, today would seem irrelevant... like just another day to check off of the calender of life. But today wasn't pointless. At times it felt that way, but there's a hint of 'purpose' in the air and I decided to breathe it in while shooting my wish towards the sky.. expecting nothing but the unexpected.
