last night i thought about andromeda and the milky way. i thought about the beautiful mess that they'd make when they collide. i thought about the universe. i thought about you. i thought about me.

last night i thought about how we are far more than two celestial bodies on a collision course. rather, i realised that we are in the midst of a tiny big bang, and i doubt we'll ever know whether this was caused by fate or built by design. the universe that's forming between us is small because it's new, yet its enormity is somehow greater than we could ever comprehend. it's a place that's filled with feelings, memories, hopes, and dreams and the dark energy that surrounds us will only expand to accommodate more. dark matter exists that has yet to be explored but i'd like to go there someday. what lies ahead is unknown but it's as exquisite as it is frightening and it's ours alone.

last night i thought about our universe.
