reach for the S T A R S

It's no perfect world, I know.
Kids get kidnapped, purses get stolen, innocent people are killed on a daily basis... and that's just the start of it.

But that doesn't mean we can't try to make this world a better place. Just because the reality is that bad things are happening and we can't possibly stop them all doesn't mean we have to sit back and watch them happen. If that were the case we'd all still be sitting in our caves digging our faces into a freshly-killed deer.

It's these hopes, these dreams, these aspirations that help us thrive in the bleakest of circumstances, hoping that one day we will reach something bigger than us.
And oftentimes it's the people who embody these dreams that change the world.

Fact: On July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon.
But they couldn't have done it without every mechanics and astronaut, the extensive money and research and care that went into it - all when they were told, no, it‘s impossible.

And essentially, that's what life is. It's striving to be something more than bonds of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Something that will leave an imprint on the world, even when the physical body is long gone.
