When life starts to get you down, go look at the stars!

Good evening ns,
So life has been treating me fairly poorly recently; been threatened with being thrown off my university course over a failed math module, been feeling very lonely, fallen out with my parents, and just broken up with my gf as I have just found out she was cheating on me. Life seemed to suck.
So I went outside tonight to have a walk to think things over, now I live in quite an isolated area, so as I looked up and saw the stars in the clear sky, I was taken aback by how many I could see. So I grabbed my jacket and laid down on the grass and looked at them twinkling brightly and I soon realised that myself and my problems are so small in the grand scale of the whole wide universe. It was very humbling and really chilled me out, and I no longer feel stressed about my problems. I sometimes think that if everyone had a regular opportunity to look at the stars and were affected by them in the same way that they affected me tonight the world will be a better place. The time is now midnight where I live and I was gazing at the stars for a good 2 hours, the more you look the more you see!
It's filled me with a new zest for life, and my suggestion for those of you who are feeling stressed, down, fed-up etc. is go and star-gaze - it just puts everything back in perspective!
Good night ns!

Spark notes : go look at stars, it'll make you feel better!
 
I used to do this. But I felt too insignificant. So now i stomp on ants nests! works everytime.

Hope shit picks up for ya bro!
 
It's been far too long since I just sat out and looked at the stars. Life's been dealing me a shitty hand lately... I'm going to be star gazing tonight.
 
That sounds awesome being able to get out on the lake in winter - it's a bit too cloudy tonight to see anything but i suggest to anyone who wants to chill out a bit and let their mind run free and forget their troubles; see if you can see any stars tonight, it'll make you feel worlds better!
Also perhaps put on your head phones with an album or two of something like sigur ros or m83 for some added epicness!
 
Worrdddd. Star gazing just mellows everything out... Looking up at the sky allows me to think so much more clearly, and like you said makes my problems seem so small and pointless. But it is kind of gay so no homo.
