nothing can be compared to the vastness of a human
i am not the night sky
although we are similar in the fact that i am not always clear and i don't always look pretty in pictures
this is for one simple reason
i am human
and i cannot be compared to an object
even as complex as the sky, i am by far more complex than it could ever be
i feel things and i think through things
i try new things and sometimes i change how i look
i add variety in my life and nothing can change that fact
to compare a human, like myself, is abnormal
because how could something so simple every compare to the vastness that a human holds
it shouldn't be spoken of or let alone be thought of
but it is because we as a species are constantly trying to find ourselves in things
whether they be other humans or something as simple as the night sky
we always wish to see bits of ourselves and feel a connection with
this bit of information should shine light on a fact
we should be able to find security within ourselves
but it is rather difficult when society and other people try to push the idea that we will see ourselves in something
because that is not always the case
and to try to make ourselves seem so simple is so absolutely absurd
because what makes us human is our expansive ability to be unique
to be incomparable is what it means to be human

sometimes i try to find myself in others and when i can't i get dissapointed. but then i stopped and i realized that there is nobody else like me and there is nothing else that is like me in all aspects. and i thought it was beautiful to accept that. although most would fear being alone in some sense, i've viewed it as a tool to use what is good about me to benefit all the other individuals i meet.
