did you know that a satellite just reached the planet jupiter? it was named after his wife–juno, queen of the gods, the one who can part clouds. they sent her after them to take a peek beneath the surface. but you know the first thing she saw as she woke from her slumber, the first thing she recorded in the vast depths of space? the galilean moons, named after jupiter’s lovers (io, europa, callisto, ganymede), orbiting around jupiter.

once again we are reminded that jupiter is only an inhale and exhale away from being the star of its own solar system. that a planet in the solar system we call home is almost big enough to burn itself out. how close we are to the brink of chaos. how if things were ever so slightly different, shifted even in the most slight of ways, we too could be the center of our own universe and burning brighter then juno’s rage. we are all so close to our own destruction it tastes a little like freedom.

(Sorry this was more like a space rant than anything else–I just love this stuff lol. Also: SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG. I am a big dumb but here it is!)

send me a confession, and I’ll write something so we can bleed together
