When you're doing something, over and over, but you think you have it down but someone always says otherwise. Someone you know well and also not at all.
You.
Deep down, telling you "you're not good enough" or "you aren't doing it right" and "failing at the only thing you're sort of good at". Always on your case for everything you do wrong. But, above the surface, there is a higher place with a small beam of light piercing through to the bottom of it all.
That's also you.
You're your own biggest obstacle and toughest critic. Sometimes the light gets swallowed by the darkness and gets your blood boiling and you can no longer hear that little light anymore.
And that's okay.
That is what they are for.
There is never just one star in our sky. There are countless. They are what light up our night when we can't light our own. We're never alone that way. No matter how dark your night may seem, there are always stars in the sky willing to burn bright for you.
