Night Sky

Once upon a time there was a boy. He enjoyed looking at the stars, but hated change. He knew that sometimes there was good change, and sometimes there was bad change. But those days it had mostly been bad change.
Still, the stars kept shining.
The future, though it held many opportunities, scared him. He made a point of being optimistic around others, hiding his fears.
Still, the stars kept shining.
He was so selfless that he didn't let himself bring others down. Smiles were always seen on his face, and his joy gleamed through his eyes. But when night fell, his fears sometimes came back.
Still, the stars kept shining.
Little did he know, however, that once in a while, someone would truly see him for all he was.
And that's when the stars became brighter.
