Now think of the stars as people. Or people like stars.
You met a lot of people on your life. Some of them are just knowns, others are classmates, friends, best friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, family, special people you met. Some stay with you and other just left.
Some people are tiny stars with a tiny shine. They are there, but you have to strive to see them. However, other stars shine bright, leading you as a compass. They are possibly dead, but its light is still guiding you. They are all different: white ones, yellow ones, blue ones; large ones, medium ones and little ones. They can be dead or maybe they are newborns. But they bring light to your life, guiding you and making you feel safe and sound.
You can pick your favouite one. Mine is Polaris, most known as Pole Star. It's far away, but its light has guided people for thousands of years. Now, I like to think that it is guiding me.
