Hello, my name is Ariana R. I am 23 years old and this is my star map story.

On the night of December 15th, 2019 at 9:00pm I was on a retreat in Sedona with my choir group from college.
We had an exciting afternoon and a group of us decided to end the day at the "tranquility pool". Only intending to stay in the hot tub, I found myself jumping into the large pool and floating on the surface while stargazing and all of a sudden, nothing else mattered but me and the stars.

I have to tell you; this is not one of your love stories. I wanted you to hear it because your star maps can represent any significant moment in someone's life.
It wasn't a major life event but it was something that changed me. I was grieving at the time... I had just lost my older brother in September. It is the hardest thing I've had to live through so far, but, floating in that pool... forfeiting my destiny to the stars, was the first time since losing my brother that I felt hope and inner peace.
For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt awake. I'm not sure if it was the healing powers of Sedona or just the relaxation of feeling weightless when the whole world is on my shoulders, but that was a pivotal moment that I never wanted myself to forget.
It taught me that through your darkest times is when hope can shine the brightest.

My star map is on the wall in my bedroom. It's the first thing I see every morning and the last thing I see at night as a pledge to myself that I can accept my fate because it is already written. Thank you Under Lucky Stars!
