name: Aster
prompt: As paradoxical as it sounds, Aster goes skydiving. Indeed, parts of it are stressful; the forms, the organising, the necessary talking to people... even getting on the plane can be a little bit nerve-wracking, though they've grown to enjoy the adrenaline rush.
But everything disappears when they're falling. When they're
weightless. There's a serenity to the inevitability, to palpably feeling the air beneath you, to the absolute demonstration of the bigger picture.
Eventually they will pull the parachute, coming down both metaphorically and literally - and they go home lighter, like they left little pieces of themself, safe in the sky.
