On a quiet night, Lily stood on the hill, gazing at the infinite expanse of stars. Each star, a distant beacon, twinkled with its own rhythm, a cosmic dance of light against the dark velvet sky. She had always felt small beneath the vastness, her dreams often seeming as distant as those celestial lights. But tonight was different. As she watched, she remembered a childhood story her grandmother once told her—about stars being the dreams of those who had gone before, lighting the way for those still on their journey. Inspired, Lily realized that her dreams were not just fleeting hopes but part of a greater constellation. With renewed determination, she took a deep breath, letting the starlight infuse her spirit. Each star, a promise of possibility, reminded her that even the darkest nights hold the promise of new beginnings. As she walked back home, her heart sparkled with the same brilliance as the night sky. ©twisha ray
