I starve myself for energy

i look at the sky every night.  ive noticed that not a lot of people do that.  we tend to take the stars for granted.  it seems the only time anyone looks up is when the weather is bad and then we curse the sky for making us late for work/messing up our hair/turning the roads slippery... ect.

i wish everyone would just go out on a nice clear night and look up.  see into the depths of the unfathomable universe, all alone in its vastness.  so incomplete with its immeasurable voids.  so majestic with stray gasses reflecting from the fires of a billion billion suns.

how do people not see that?  how can anyone not want to know all the secrets that lie in those lost millennia since long before our small corner of space was created?  with our skewed perspective of what life is, the only that space holds for humans is death.  that makes me so sad.

i hate the fact that i will never know.  i hate that i will never step foot onto a world other than the one to which i was born.  never breathe the air of an alien world.  never sift through the ruins of alien civilizations older than the sun.  never wake to the light of a different sun.

a constant dreamer i suppose.  why couldnt i get the dreams that are attainable?

current listening and inspiration...  Dark Tranquility - Therein
