The Sun

When I was a kid, I met this boy, the brightest person that I have ever seen...just like the sun. 

Instantly, I got drawn to the rays of light he was emanating. He reached out his hands, concurrently, dissipating every single shade of dullness and gloom in me. And that is when I have decided, I want to be like the sun... like him. 

And then, I became one, I thought. I wanted to move other people like how I was moved before. I wanted to shine brightly as I can be to take away the darkness in others' faces. It took me quite some time to realize that the sun illuminates on one side while casting a shadow through the other. I guess we cannot have it all like how we want them to be. If you are the sun, the center pull of the solar system, you know, you can only always see the brightest side in your point-of-view, which is quite sad and quite lonely. Being the centerpiece, and be surrounded by satellites that just reflect your own light as they revolve around you, you will be the only one not moving. But oh well, even the sun ain't flawless. Well, it ain't special either though. It is just like any other star in the universe. Just another star. A tiny spec of light across the galaxies. Yes, its true, I have become The Sun, but will this sun really make that much difference? Maybe not. Not at all.
