Came here from reddit. That deadpan smile on the star got me gud. Nice work.
Thank you Kyle! Glad you liked it!
This page made me laugh out loud!
I’ve always pointed out the astronomical inaccuracy of the statement: several orders of magnitude difference in distance. But now I also see the problem in its metaphor, implying that stars are somehow lesser. Down with the cliché! Before it inculcates the masses!
I think the quote could also be interpreted as the failure to reach something may actually lead to success. Your dream didn’t come true because you were meant for something greater.
