Riley Matthews. From Greenwich Village, New York City, the United States of America. The continent of North America. Western Hemisphere. The Earth. The Solar System. The Universe. The mind of God. And in the middle of all of it is John Quincy Adams Middle School, me and my friends. Because we are the center of the universe.
At least, That's what I thought.

We think we're the center of the universe. We think everything revolves around us. We depends on the sun for light and for warmth. Expecting it to come back in the morning. We trust it to come back.

Here's what's funny. If you're standing on the moon, you'd think the earth was revolving around it.21 It's really all about perspective. It's really hard not to believe you are the center of everything, until you realize it's not.

The sun doesn't go around the earth. We're the ones moving. We orbit the sun because we need it, because it gives us sun and the heat. And if it wasn't there it would be dark and alone.

We think that we're the center of the universe, but the truth is we need to circle the ones that we love for as long as we're here. We need to hold them close, because no matter how far we travel, they are the ones that hold us in place. It's gravity and, without it, we would just all float away from it.

We're not kings at all, we are all just tiny little specks. My name is Riley Matthews. From Greenwich Village, New York City, the United States of America. The continent of North America. Western Hemisphere. The Earth. The Solar System. The Universe. The mind of God.

Just for a moment we're all together. Let's really look at each other.
