Space.  It can only be explained by logic and pools of data. But it can only be described in adjectives. My dream is to be able to just sit for hours and hours staring up at the sky and it’s incredible stars. But not just a few stars, but clusters of them, and wonder what really is up there. At night I lay in my bed and think about what it would be like to be isolated there. With no one but myself and the billions of stars and nebula’s. I realized that complete isolation can be a way of death in your head.

You can get to weak from staying in the same ship, doing the same things, consuming the same foods. You can suffer from depression or lack of human interaction. Sometimes even delusion. Then I started to think further into this thought each night, and spoke about it with my friends as well. If there were two human beings. Things could be different. If they each have different skills or tasks, they will be able to achieve more then they intend to. But most of all, they have to make the most of there new environment. They have to make most of their time with each other.

Time can either help you, or hurt you. Look at the nearest clock, or anything that tells the time. Does it look like something that could possibly hurt or heal a life? Does it feel like a helpful tool for an almost impossible situation? I think it is all of these things. But to each and every person, it means something completely different as well as the same. In a matter of seconds a plant could possibly dehydrate from the lack of rainfall. Days, weeks, or even months later could bring heavy showers of precipitation cloaking a now deceased plant with rain droplets, and new life. Time is such a precious thing. It’s like glass. Such a sudden move could shatter it. It’s shards of sharp blades could easily hit you, bringing pain to your skin or damage a membrane. Just like how time could hit you like a storm of glass.

One of my favorite quotes in one of my favorite series’s is “as long as we’re together,” because it represents how much people sacrifice just to be with the people they love. Those are the kind of acts that can define a persons dignity. The thoughts that can live through them like rays of the sun.

I recently saw the amazing science fiction drama Passengers with my family.  Now let me explain a little about the movie, because then you will understand why I spoke this way.

On a journey to a new planet aboard the spacecraft Avalon there are 5,000 passengers and more than 500 crew members. In order to live through the entire 120 year travel time to the new planet, everyone aboard is put into hibernation. But after 30 years of travel 2 passengers awake 90 years too early due to ship malfunctions from contact with an abnormally large asteroid. Aurora Lane( played by Jennifer Lawrence) and Jim Preston( played by Chris Pratt) are destined to live the rest of there lives aboard the spacecraft. Facing incredibly difficult challenges including the ships hibernation pod’s malfunctions. Soon enough, they find that the ship is in horrible danger of deceasing. With the pressure of saving more then 5,000 lives, the two passengers are set out to figure out the ships systems and extreme flaws. While holding on to each moment with each other.

Director Morten Tyldem was not only able to build an incredible story, but was able to bring it to life, leaving a stunning masterpiece of film. What shocked me the most out of the whole movie was the architectural design and structure of the sets, and the way the story was told and deposited. Showing no signs of fluctuation. Later on it received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Music Score, and Best Production Design as well. The moral was most likely the best part of the whole movie. It definitely brought out the ” we will always be together” bit of it. So please remember to hold on to every moment you have with the people you love, And be grateful that time is giving back to you.
