When I close my eyes, I am flying. I am a rocket, taking off into the sky. I am the earth, orbiting the sun. I am a comet, blazing through darkness littered with tiny sparks. Like the doubts in my mind, gravity pulls me, trying to rip me apart. But it’s been far too long, and every day I have been growing stronger. I will no longer allow people to bring me down. I will defy the odds; I will keep seeking the universe beyond.
