Ana

“Have you noticed
All the moments we live
And all the miles we walk
never seem to get us anywhere but dead?
but still...
the flare of my thrusters burns like tiny suns
In the sea of starlight all around her.
when the light that kisses the back of her eyes was birthed, her ancestors were not yet born.
How many human lives have ended in the time it took that light to reach her?
how many people have loved only to have lost?
how countless, the hopes that have died?
[But still...]
Not this one.”
― Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff, Obsidio

― Rebecca Ross, Divine Rivals

“Nothing ever ends...

Just three words long”
