Stars of Destiny

The shooting star banner

Not all stars are meant to shine brightly. Some remain in constellations, while others drift across the firmament, drawing our gaze to different parts of the sky as they move, revealing forgotten dots on the dark canvas.


The Shooting Star travels around, following her own compass and the rules of luck and attraction, meeting other celestial bodies along the way. Some of them are well-kept mysteries, while others are blunt and already radiating forces. Some will eventually fade but all deserve a place in her trail as she continues her journey, recounting tales of her cosmic encounters, from the most modest to the well-known, casting them in her own light, building their legends forever.


Will this star eventually get caught in some gravitational field, orbiting around the same stars and finding her place in the great nocturnal painting? Or will she forever be free? This tale hasn't been written yet.

Summer loves never last

If Love is the most powerful emotion in the Universe,
Transcending time and space like something transverse,
It is also beautiful for its ephemerality
One day, turning dreams into reality
Then turning them into ashes in your mouth
Leaving hearts broken and eyes drowned, never drought.

This is not a complete story, merely a compilation
Of tender moments, sweet quotes and confessions
From two lovebirds who met in the immense sky
And decided to fly together, until one of them would die.
For the world to be witness of their pure love,
Here are records of those young doves.

It's just a melon, uncle!
