Retrofitting.

We often try to Retrofit in someone else’s space to get either assurance or acceptance. Everyone and everything on Earth contains minuscule star particles. And all of us would not have been given this stardust for “Retrofitting” into someone else’s star particles. We learn, as we get older, that rules are made to be broken. We understand that to be bold enough to live life on our terms, and never, ever apologize for it is okay. But then… Then we meet someone, go against the grain, and make them our Supernova. They, in a, either way, become the biggest explosion that we could ever see and they explode the spark of million stars out of us. But is this worth it?

Some people are generic. They make generic responses and they expect generic answers. They live inside a box and want people to be inside their box and might think people who don’t fit into their box are weird or they may just leave. But I’ll tell you what, generic people are the weird people. They are like genetically-manipulated plants growing inside a laboratory, like indistinguishable faces, like droids. Like ignorance. And Ignorance accelerates us. They are the supernova which has been accelerated by the sidelining the stardust from our hearts.

We are a way for the universe to know itself and our own selves and not anyone else. Some part of our’s knowing this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We’re made of star-stuff and it’s the fact that the carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in our bodies, as well as atoms of all other heavy elements, we’re created in previous generations of stars over 4.5 billion years ago and maybe those atoms are still conspiring against other gases which are unessential and here we want to fix for someone else ignoring our own star particles? Makes sense? No. Humans and every other thing as well as most of the matter on earth contain these same elements in different proportions so we’re all a little weird and we should work on it! On our own pace, for our own selves and not to fit in someone else’s minuscule star particle, but to consume our’s.

A supernova reaches its’ peak brightness a few days after it first occurred, during which time it may outshine an entire galaxy of stars. The dead star then continues to shine intensely for several weeks before gradually fading from view.

The material from a supernova eventually disperses throughout interstellar space. The oldest stars almost exclusively consisted of hydrogen and helium, with oxygen and the rest of the heavy elements in the universe later coming from supernova explosions. So, Don’t let the Supernova and explode out all the spark that you’ve built in all these years and all the atoms of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in our bodies that have been conspiring for 4.5 billion years.

Stars make heavy elements, and later in their lives, they eject gas into the medium between stars so it can be part of subsequent stars and planets (and people) so don’t retrofit and live your own star particles because they won’t sacrifice/adjust theirs for you.
