Flickering Lights: Sirius The brightest star. To be a star, one must burn itself to let off a shine from its flames. To be the brightest star in the vast night sky, one must burn like no other. The only dream I had while growing up was to be the best in everyone's eyes, even if I have to lose myself in that path. If I were to burn, I'd burn in the highest point so everyone could only stare in awe even if I were to fan myself with the darkness of this industry.
