I Like to Lie Outside and Watch the Stars
I like to be higher up when I'm staring at the sky so that the world below doesn't get in the way. In the city, there aren't many stars visible, but the few that are there are still a pleasant and welcome sight.
I used to do that all the time when I was a kid. My friend and I would lie on the roof, staring at the sky and talking about all kinds of weird stuff kids talk about: We were going to be pirates someday. Never mind that I had motion sickness and wouldn't be able to handle the boat, or that I hated fish. We thought of ways around that, like packing a year's worth of canned food. Then, we'd come up with better ideas while staring at those stars. We were going to be space pirates!
These days, when I stare at the stars, I think about the past instead. it's easy to be calmer when looking at the sky. I don't know why. Sometimes I get to thinking that things weren't always so bad, that there were some good times as well. I like how it reminds me of those better times.
