Novel & Cerita I Am Like A Star Shining Brightly

But what is this aching feeling. Ruby looked at the bright moon. Trying to grasp it with her hand she whispers, “How beautiful you are, that no matter how cruel the world is, you still shine.” Like the moon’s light there is still a way for her to shine no matter how people looked down on her. She looked into the night sky, and she saw the shimmering stars. Something seemed to be sparkling at her from the sky. Tears of hope were clouding her blue eyes. “That’s right like those glittering lights, I will also illuminate,” she whispers into the wind.

I’m not gonna give up, I’ll always be shining non-stop, I can hear you call out to me, I know you’re there to catch me, But I won’t fall, I’ll work my way above all. Even if I’m so tired and so blue, Even if my life has lost all its hue, I’ll be living out my dreams with you. I know I can be my own light, I know and believe with all my might, Starlight, star bright, let me make a wish tonight. Oh, oh-oh, let me make a wish tonight. Oh, oh-oh, Starlight, star-bright,

His singing was soft, almost like a lullaby, each word soaked in emotion: 🎶 Oh~ the brightest star in the night sky, Please guide me close to you. 🎶 🎶 Oh~ the brightest star in the night sky, do you know? Where is the figure who once walked with me? 🎶 🎶 I would rather bear all the pain in my heart, Then forget the sight of your eyes. Grant me the courage to believe again, To embrace you beyond all the lies. 🎶

I swallow the lump in my throat. It pains me to speak up and not tell her how I’m feeling. But I do it anyway, because I’d do anything for her, even when it hurts me. “I think that I’m counting on you to find all the other beautiful places the stars shine bright in the world.”

I began to read aloud. "My current self is not in the ocean of stars, but I am always drowned with their beauty. Those lovely little moments we had made me endure this year of waiting. No one would ever understand how you provide a thousand flickering lights in my dark life. I am no longer bound to love any. But your heart never fails to believe in me. You portrayed how I’m worth more than a box of treasure. You stayed like I am your other self you can’t live without. You love like it was the only thing you knew in life. Even if it takes a thousand decades. My humble self will always wait for you….. my starlight." A tear slipped down my cheek as I read the beautiful message. Flipping to anot

“But if the stars fade, what will guide us?” Silence followed, heavy and trembling. Lyra stepped forward, her light illuminating their anxious faces. “The stars were never your masters,” she said. “They were your mirrors. They shone because you believed in them.” The Flame Child added, “And when they fade, you must become their echo.” Arien looked up at the sky again, the dimming constellations reflected in his eyes. “Then maybe it’s our turn to shine.” Lyra’s heart swelled with pride and sorrow all at once.

"What do you want to tell me?" “I want you to know—no matter how many stars light up the sky, it’s only the moon I long for. Esther, I like you—whether you’re shining bright like a full moon or barely hanging on like a crescent. Every version of you… I like them all.” ***

“Everybody give it up for Sofia Camara!” The crowd erupts. Sofia Camara smiles brightly as the opening melody of ‘Starlight’ begins drifting through the stadium speakers. I lean lightly against the barrier as she starts to sing. The lyrics floating softly through the roaring stadium atmosphere, somehow managing to cut straight through the chaos around me. About finding light in darkness. About loving someone even when they were damaged. About wanting to be worthy of that love. I stare blankly at the dirt beneath my boots as the words hit me harder than I expected. It felt like every lyric has been carved from my own thoughts. Jen’s face flashes through my mind again. The nights she stayed be

"I mean, next time I come over, it'll be as a friend." "Really?" "Really." I looked up at the moon and smiled, brighter than I had in a long time. "It's a promise." At last, I had a new life—one without Ian, without Rose, without fear or sacrifice. A life where I could finally live for myself.
