What did I say, it’s painful to turn your back and walk away, from something you know will be awfully awesome in time to come. But somehow, it’s not for you. It’s that kind of awesomeness that eats you up inside, until you become hollow and empty, like a vase that’s all pretty but simply just for show.

It’s not giving up, it’s changing direction. Or so I say.

I will run away to Paris and stop at Eiffel where I’ll find someone who will climb right up to the top and pluck off a star from the night sky for me.

Some rich Americans, they say, have their ashes put into satellites and brought into space. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to do that. It’s gonna be terribly lonely, you know. That’s why space is called space. It’s just a whole load of space and nothing else. You won’t even be any closer to the stars, to travel to the nearest star you’ll need 30 odd years travelling in the speed of light. No rocket will do that for you. Hmm. You’ll be floating alone, cold and sad. Oh, at least you’ll be in a pretty container, I suppose.

Whimsical and pretty.

“Maybe she’s waiting for someone.”
It’s entirely possible to not know who you are waiting for. It’s called faith. Or maybe it’s because the thought of being alone your entire life is too much to bear, so you convince yourself you won’t be the one drawing that bad lot. There’s gotta to be someone else with worse luck, isn’t it?
Someday I’ll put on wings and fly away, above the city lights and skyscrapers. But I won’t want to do it alone. It’s worse than dumping your ashes in space because well, in this case I happen to be alive. No wonder superheroes are such miserable people. Maybe I’ll ask tiff or ann or syl or lav to come along. But they won’t, it’s much nicer to be grounded, in a way.

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon
