There are more than 8 billion people on this earth, and some of them wanted to shine in the things they wanted to pursue. I mean, who doesn’t want to shine? Especially if you have skills in something, of course you want to shine as much as you can.

Watching a lot of people start to shine in their own way made me wanna shine in my own way, too. There’s no need to be the “main character” or do the things you didn’t want to do just to shine “better”.

Just be yourself, do not try to seek your own strength from anyone or anything else, it’s all within you.

Wherever you are now, you can shine as much as you want. If you think you haven’t shine, no, you’re already shining.

Shine doesn’t always have to be the sun, it can be a star, a streetlight, or a fireflies. You don’t need to push yourself to be the “sun” when you can be other shiny things.

When I Fly Towards You (2023)

Fun fact, I wrote this short narration after watching this scene and realizing that we don’t always have to shine brightly all the time. We should shine, but we don’t have to shine all the time.

Sincerely, Alia.
