The Star That Became You
Before there were worlds, there was light a vast ocean of stars burning in the cosmic dark. One of them lived fiercely, fusing atoms into brilliance until its heart could no longer hold the fire. Then in a final act of creation, it exploded a supernova scattering its essence across the void.
Those ancient fragments drifted for aeons, weaving through nebulae and galaxies, until gravity called them home again into a newborn star, a forming planet, and eventually, into you.
Every breath you take carries the memory of that star’s fire. The iron in your blood, the calcium in your bones, the carbon in your cells all forged in its heart. You are not just made of the universe you are the universe, awakened and remembering itself.
