✧ City Stars

I can’t see any stars in Osaka tonight. But that’s okay, I can see glimmers of city lights from my balcony, and that’s still plenty beautiful. I am currently trying to think up of a proper name for this blog. My initial thoughts were something flower, star, or mythology related?

I’m so tempted to pick a domain with the word “star” in it. Stars are very important to me. One of my first usernames online (on weheartit, I miss that platform) was “stargazing_”. Lyrics from the songs “popstars” by Kill Eva have also been in my bio for a while now.

✧ But why stars, you may ask? It’s a bit cliché, perhaps, but even surrounded by darkness, I will continue to shine my inner light. I refuse to dim myself in any way, for any reason. How funny that a book I loved when I was 10 years old was called “Radiance,” like my old youtube channel. My OC universe “Fragments of a Fallen Star” is about Kiera, a diplomat who learns how to reconnect with herself, her emotions, and accepting what Odrua’s curse stole from her but persevering and creating her own, magical future ❤

I’ve always thought myself too indecisive for tattoos, but maybe, just maybe, a star will be my first one.

I’ve been taking a liking to pink and green lately. Watching the new season of miraculous ladybug. Apartment updates (GOOD NEWS!) incoming in the next blog post. I was tired hours ago but stayed up anyways.

I’m going to take a rejuvenating bath then pass out. I work early tomorrow, but that’s okay. Might use my pink shampoo to dye my hair pink for golden week… good night, reader!
