Sonder:

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

I can’t stop saying “jazzed.” Perhaps that is because I finally started sleeping in a real bed, ate a real bagel and started picking up the trash in my neighborhood. Or maybe it’s because Trump is finally getting what’s coming to him. Or maybe it’s a little bit of everything…

The scene is set in the vast expanse of space, with stars and planets twinkling in the background. In the foreground, we see Hayley and the Crushers, a three-piece band, floating weightlessly in their spacesuits.

Hayley, the lead singer and guitarist, is positioned front and center, with her bright pink hair contrasting against the blackness of space. She is strumming her guitar while singing into a microphone, her voice amplified by the speakers on her spacesuit. To her left, the drummer is playing a set of glowing neon drums, with each strike of the drumsticks emitting a burst of colorful light.

To her right, the bassist is plucking the strings of his instrument, with each note producing a pulsing wave of energy that reverberates through the vacuum of space. The whole scene is bathed in a neon glow, with the colors of the band's instruments and outfits creating a vibrant and otherworldly atmosphere.
