It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

I’ve been following several Tumblogs for the past couple of months or so. Some of these Tumblogs are curated by teenagers, so they tend to be lofty and grandiloquent. Yet, I find myself captivated by some of what appears in these curations.

When I first came across the above photograph of the Tarantula Nebula as a backdrop for the aphorism “Right now, someone you haven’t met is out there wondering what it would be like to meet someone like you,” my loner’s heart opened for a quick second to peek into an optimist's starscape… but it seemed so teenagey.

So I kicked it arond and shuffled some posts and I was going to post these two separately, in amongst other bits, but then my right brain took over and arguably made it even more teenagey.
