Beyond the Stars


A person asked me, “what’s beyond the stars?”

My first thought was more stars

But then I got to thinking, is there such a thing as a final layer of stars?

And if there is, what lays beyond them?

Is it a black hole?

A sea of black holes?

What about rainbow road in mario kart?

But maybe there’s more to the question

What if the stars represent our own level of possibility

Maybe the question is asking what goes on beyond our comfort zone or possibility?

Because I think we, as individuals, need to realize that our life begins the moments we take a step outside our comfort zone

Maybe my response to the question should've been:

“What’s beyond the limit I set for myself?”
