How to live amongst the stars
Speak to the stars at night, they will not welcome a stranger.
Make sure you own something gold.
If you do not own anything gold and cannot buy something, draw a star on your left cheek with a marker and wear it for a full day. Ignore the stares.
The stars will understand and in a week, a golden pin will appear on your pillow.
At night, go and sit in the middle of a field, any field will work, and wait in silence for ten minutes.
Do not stand up or leave.
Search your soul, a name will appear, not one you know or one you will remember, but say it anyway, the stars will hear.
You should be wearing your pin.
If you are, the stars will come down and dance with you, if you aren’t, they will stay there, twinkling in the sky.
Dance until dawn, marvel at the colours that swim around you, and the brightness of the very universe. Your energy will not fade, so do not worry about the time ahead of you, only think about that moment.
Once a month, on the same day, meet with the stars again, you shall learn about each other, and when you are ready, tell them that you would like to live as one of them.
They will ask you if you are sure, and do not be afraid to answer no, the stars understand, they will still meet you again next month.
If you answer yes, they will disappear, and you shall awake at dawn in your bed, having had a good nights sleep.
Your day will proceed as normal, and you will almost be convinced that the night before was a dream, but do not forget.
That night, your dreams will be filled with the ones whom love you, the ones whom you love, your good memories, reasons to stay, and you will doubt your decision.
Do not worry, the stars are kind, it is their intention.
You shall meet up the next month, and tell them that you have changed your mind. They will nod, and float back into the sky, burning millions of miles away.
Time will pass, and you will miss them. They will miss you too.
You may be disappointed, you may believe that you do not live within the stars, and that is true. But do not mourn. For they live within you, the very stardust the flows within your veins.
Whenever you are lonely, search your soul, a name will appear, not one you know or one you will remember, but say it anyway, the stars will hear. And they will listen.
