People are like stars. They’re numerous. There are famous ones like the North Star and then there are the rest that fill in the vast spaces in between. Some are known by many people and stand out from the rest, but others go unnoticed or are only recognized by the singular astronomer who discovered them. They even have limited life spans and die over time.
I feel like a star. But not bright and beautiful adorning the night sky. I feel like a dying star. One that had potential and began its life so bright, but lost its power over time. I feel like a star about to implode on itself, creating a black hole. And my destruction will suck in and destroy everything around me too.
I feel immovable like a star, just floating up there in space, among millions of others. I want to do something, but I’m just a star. For humans, it means the world to be a star, but for a star, you’re just like every other star. Some are bigger, some smaller. Some are hotter and some are colder. It’s hard to tell the difference from one star to the next down on Earth though. They all begin to look the same.
If only I were anything else…or could become what else I want to be.
But I don’t know what that something else is.
So I’m stuck, in space, surrounded but alone, with no other prospects but my eventual death.
Hey there! Just saying hi and that I’m here to review this masterpiece. 
First off I would like to say that is quite an amazing work.
*claps*
It was such an interesting and unique metaphor to describe humanity. I thought it was very relatable. I like stories where the title makes you assume roughly what it’s going to be like, when you then read it it’s completely different from what you were expecting. I wish you a great day.
Cya!

Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
People are like stars. They’re numerous. There are famous ones like the North Star and then there are the rest that fill in the vast spaces in between. Some are known by many people and stand out from the rest, but others go unnoticed or are only recognized by the singular astronomer who discovered them.

This is deep. I like the simile of people being like stars. You're absolutely right.
My favorite lines: "If only I were anything else... or could become what else I want to be. But I don't know what that something else is"
My favorite line: "But I don't know what that something else is."
I think these lines appeal to me the most because it makes the reader think about their own life. For example, I am a teacher. I always knew I was going to be a teacher. And sometimes I feel like I should've done something else. But, like you, I don't know what that something else would be. It's very relatable.
Things to work on: I want to read more. It doesn't feel unfinished per se, but I think there is room to expand on this idea.
Over all it is very well written and leaves the reader contemplating their own lives. Great work!
