“At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough. You don’t need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough.”
— Toni Morrison, Tar Baby
“You need to spend time crawling alone through shadows to truly appreciate what it is to stand in the sun.”

Aphrodite: god I have a headache
Athena: you tend to have a lot of headaches
Aphrodite: I don’t drink enough water
Athena: oh yeah me neither
Aphrodite: hot girls are dehydrated
Athena: that’s what I’m saying
“When something bothered me, I didn’t talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that’s just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.”
— Haruki Murakami
“because inside each word some memory stalks another memory and without hearing it you know it is there, the way our dreams continue on without us, the way one star spills its light against another star beyond what we will ever see, where time echoes back and forth in their light”
— Richard jackson, from “A Train, The Scottsboro Boys,” B O D Y (Winter 2021)

The difference between asteroids, meteorites and meteors. Enjoy!
In simplest terms here are the definitions:
Asteroid: a large rocky body in space, in orbit around the Sun.
Meteoroid: much smaller rocks or particles in orbit around the Sun.
Meteor: If a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and vaporizes, it becomes a meteor, which is often called a shooting star.
Meteorite: If a small asteroid or large meteoroid survives its fiery passage through the Earth's atmosphere and lands on Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
Asteroids
Most asteroids in our solar system are found in the main asteroid belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter. But they can also hang out in other locations around the solar system. For example, some asteroids orbit the Sun in a path that takes them near Earth.
Meteoroids
Space debris smaller than an asteroid are called meteoroids. A meteoroid is a piece of interplanetary matter that is smaller than an asteroid and frequently are only millimeters in size. Most meteoroids that enter the Earth's atmosphere are so small that they vaporize completely and never reach the planet's surface. When they burn up during their descent, they create a beautiful trail of light known as a meteor, sometimes called a shooting star.
Meteorite
If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite. Although the vast majority of meteorites are very small, their size can range from about a fraction of a gram (the size of a pebble) to 100 kilograms (220 lbs) or more
In short, the difference between asteroids and meteors all comes down to a question of location. Asteroids are always found in space. Once it enters an atmosphere, it becomes a meteor, and then a meteorite after it hits the ground. Each are made of the same basic materials – minerals and rock – and each originated in space. The main difference is where they are when they are being observed.

To be honest, I don't remember who i was before you. You consumed me so much i made you the reason for my entire existence no matter how much i denied that. People looked at me as if I've lost my mind and maybe i did. I fitted myself into everything you wanted without even thinking twice. And if that isn't madness i dont know what is.
Now that i dont want to be consumed by you or your fucking ideologies, you can't stand it anymore. (I don't know what people think when they romanticize heartbreaks; what kind of sadistic satisfaction do you get out of that? It is ugly, horrible and ends up making you look stupid so make it sound like that.)
I want to be consumed by things that won't leave me questioning myself and if losing you is what it takes then so be it.
