When the Stars Fall (Lost Stars, #1)

by Emery Rose

One time I asked him why he was so obsessed with the stars. He said it was cool that they were thousands of light years away but we could see them with the naked eye. And that our planet was nothing more than a speck of dust to whoever was watching us from the stars. I told him that made me feel small and worthless. He said it was the opposite, that we were a part of something bigger.
