Ethereal

Hello Milkyway, old friend,

It's been well over a year since we last met. I know you're busy up there confining to all the laws of physics etc, and we both know that the Moon tends to steal your glory. The clouds down here seem to have a mind of their own, I don't even think they realise the inconvenience they've caused. But for what feels like a split moment, all the elements have aligned.

I hope that this doesn't revert back to a rare occurrence, because I do genuinely enjoy your company! You've proved to me how small we are in the grand scheme of things. You help me treasure moments rather than objects, experiences more than materialism, souls over status and I guess if you wanna put it simply... life.

Best, Gabriella x
