First impressions.
I can tell just how well I can vibe with someone based on that initial interaction. But sometimes I wish I can have the opportunity to get to know that person, for purely platonic purposes. It’s just a great feeling having another close friend to talk to. Genuine people are so rare nowadays.
Balance.
Be proud, but not vain. Be kind, but not foolish. Fearless, but not reckless; Humble, but not feel inferior. It is the mixture of what is perceived as good and bad traits that mesh into a concoction to form a well-rounded being. If you’re looking for self-improvement, balance in character may be the most effective. Internal harmony manifests itself externally, and with both in accord brings...

For Good.
In retrospect, it’s amazing how much I have changed, all from the influence of a specific individual, who may or may not know the impact that was inadvertently caused. Well, I’d just like to put it out there that I have had drastic improvements made to my character just by simply knowing you, more-so than most others in my life. And for that I thank you, for everything you don’t...

An Astronomer
by Babak A. Tafreshi
Turn on your speakers and watch this time-lapse video full screen. Cerro Paranal is an astronomers paradise with its stunningly dark, steady, and transparent sky. Located in the barren Atacama Desert of Chile it is home to some of the world’s leading telescopes.
Wow.

We're comfortable too easily.
It’s strange how we can completely alter the intended meaning of a song to fit our realities of today. Said song may not have anything to do with our current situations, yet somehow we are able to fit this mold we create, as if the song is speaking directly to us. But really, it isn’t. It’s just our minds hearing what we want to hear, feeling things we want to feel. And I guess...

The American Dream.
Call me foolish, but I think I have this life all figured out. It is only a matter of time… The only legitimate obstacle in our lives.

You know what's beautiful about the sky?
Aside from its obvious aesthetic purposes, it’s constant. It’s a universal, consistent means of comfort simply by looking up. A figurative blanket, a beacon of hope. Sometimes as I stare into the sky, I wonder who is also looking up with me. It’s as if I’m connected to those similar by way of sky. This thought, that others may be doing the same, is comforting. I never have...

He sat on a ledge overlooking the city. The draft at such a high level was just strong enough to brush away his tears before they were able to roll down his cheeks. Amidst his grieving aroused a curiosity as to how easy it was to get onto this roof so easily. How easy it would be to just “accidentally” misplace an adjustment in seating and to fall to one’s doom. That’s what really...
Silver tongue turned to lead.
Composure dissipated at the mere thought of interaction. That’s rare for me.

No sacrifice, no victory.
In the past, I’ve always sided with my head. Logic, reason and rationale had always appealed to me. But, maybe just this once, I’ll stand by my heart. Why the sudden shift in my judgement? Because you are the only one that has ever proved to be worth all of this. I’m aware of the consequences, but it’s time I learned a lesson in taking risks.
Where to go, where to go.
Logic, rationale and reason: A form of defense my mind has to stray away from the danger of proceeding when the circumstances are no where near in my favor. This pseudo “chase” isn’t only the efforts of one person, it’s both. One may put in more than the other, but the mutual common place must be strived for by both parties. I can only do so much; when all is done, perhaps...

But because I have met you, I have improved in a variety of aspects in my life. I don’t know the significance of our meeting, whether this is it or there is more in store. But whatever happens in our future, just know I will never forget you.

Transcending Friendship.
It’s a foreign, terrifying territory, entering uncharted waters only heard of by others. Perhaps, just this once, you should try to explore and give it a chance. Such potential beauty few often experience can be worth the adventure, but it requires two. Try me, and we can sail together. I know it’s out there somewhere, for the both of us. I just feel it.
Event Horizon.
As many approach this common singularity at varying rates, it is vital that one must distance themselves so as to not be engulfed entirely. But how does one define the line of no return when it is unpredictable? Hindsight perhaps, but that is of no use…

Analysis report.
I see past your looks: the concrete characteristics that superficially make up a person. You are beautiful, but this can be said about how you look as well. It is your personality that makes itself evident in my eyes; it manifests itself physically, amplifying how I perceive you: Beauty itself, in all forms. Your mind is plagued by ambition infused with modest amounts of pride. Independence...
