“But we are not one star. We are millions. Not one background, but millions.

To the untrained eye, the night sky is a scattering of stars, a chaos of light and dark across the universe.

And yet, the stars are not lost.

Be like a star. Shine your light. Shine your story. For stories will lead us home.

-Maryam”
