Tonight I realized that the world is still made up of the same things that make me feel human, or alive. How it is moving, constantly changing, still amazes me.

Tonight I looked up and somehow the nightsky tells me, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Just carry on. You have to carry on.”

I wanted to ask the Moon why it still keeps on showing up. I wonder if it ever feels like wanting to stop going through the same orbit every single day, if at some point, it wishes to just disappear into some blackhole.

I looked up again and it just stared back at me. And I told myself, okay, it’s here. It’s still here. To light up our skies, to take care of the tides, to send warm messages, to tell us to carry on.

As I write, I am trying to understand the significance of amino acid side chain characteristics. And I realized I’m doing this for a good reason, for other people. I like this concept of paying things forward. I hope, whoever is reading this, you’d know that you’re still here, carrying things on, because you’re given a special purpose. Some purpose that might be that good domino piece that just spreads hope and tell one person to carry on, and then that person does the same thing to another person, and to the next one, and to many others.

This thought warms my heart. It is a good night. It is a good life. Let us all carry on.
