Lost in the moment, found in the details. A little bit of magic happens when you let go – and maybe that means letting go of everything but your own beautiful self. Feeling like stardust tonight! Watc...

“Don’t look so surprised. It was obvious, wasn't it?”

It has been a while, hasn’t it? A lifetime, almost. That dust – always here, doesn’t it? Always settling, fine particles of everything we weren’t sure we wanted to remember. This dress… well, this one feels familiar enough. Velvet, certainly, but perhaps a little rougher than we remembered - a bit too much friction when the boys came around. Not that we minded too much. Did you notice? The way the light caught those flakes yesterday—like golden tears, didn't they? So many questions nestled within them.”

A slight tilt of the hand, ever since...well, ever since he left, really. Or did he leave us? Did we let him? We don’t want to admit that, do we? Just stand there, silent. Usually, all it takes is a glance, isn't that right? That hint of amusement in your eyes every time we catch ourselves staring. Almost like you think we're daft, which, of course, we are."

The quietest sigh, another particle drifts down, catching the light. "Remember the scent? Like woodsmoke and something wild, something untamed. Before everyone agreed it should be muted, made more gentle. More palatable. Doesn't matter, does it? All these years later, still here, aren’-t we?"

We're not afraid of you, are we? Just a touch hesitant. Maybe that's for the best. After all, who else remembers if we were actually happy, besides ourselves?"
