There is no sense in fearing change. Everything we touch touches us. Change is a constant, as contradictory as that sounds.
I first chose the dark when I was only nineteen. Then I came to this universe. At first a ship was only transportation from one job to the next. It wasn't until I bought my first one, a worn-out little single seater, that I learned different. That was when space really started to soak into me.
Shut down your drive between systems, off the trade routes, that place some call dead space. Put on a suit and go out on a couple hundred meters of tether. Take the time to really look around. As tiny as it might make you feel, tell me it isn't a magnificent sight.
