Our water veins were connected in a mirage, as we were not physically connected, but entwined by fate. Our arms crawled along the boardwalk of isolation. We gasped for oxygen, once we found out we couldn't be together. The harsh circumstances made it so that we were physically drying out with the absence of water. The tingles on our wafer feet made our insides uneasy.

A great seahorse. Great in the way of physique, but also in the way of personality. He had a curled tail like a lost shell, never worn out by time. Preserved by the ocean, as if he was waiting for me.  The eternal waterfall thudded in glistening patterns to the same beat as my heart. I used my fins to travel closer, as I approached him. Was it unconventional for a female seahorse like me to do that?

The agitation came from a desire to dance around the ward and yet feel so deflated at the same time. “We can look into temazepam, or people just like to walk around.” Said the treating team.

It's smart in a way that "Light Blue" references the Matchbox 20 song, "3AM." Derek's lyric "and won't let the day waste away, while I'm thinking about you again, but now it's 3am," smartly shows that he is up all night thinking about his memories that have pulled him back to when he was in love, while also alluding to the...]]></description><link>https://catapulttothestars.wixsite.com/catapult-to-the-star/post/stellar-sounds-light-blue-state-champs</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69febbe94f7ebdc9f6abfc45</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 04:46:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_73e9a8a6d44941848f3c89e085574421~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Catapult to the Stars</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stellar Sounds- Light Year, TSSF]]></title><description><![CDATA["In the chorus of 'Light Year,' Parker reflects on his journey, singing, 'How did I get here?

The song explores feelings of being left behind as others progress and the loneliness of life on tour.

She would let the waves of her mind sail her through storms. Though, beneath  her thoughts were enclosed a mountain of memories. Memories that could only be concealed by being buried.
