TUESDAY INSIGHT Ep-10
“A Conversation with A-Star”
I forgot it was Tuesday,
Till I saw her again—
Not just a neighbor,
but a presence that glowed like flame.
Esther, her given name,
But I call her A-Star,
Not for the way she walks,
But for the way she carries hearts far.
We talked… like time didn’t matter,
Like silence had a voice,
And I asked her,
“If you could describe yourself, what would be your choice?”
She smiled—calm and clear,
“Friendly, passionate, jovial… sincere.
I keep my smile even when days are tight,
I joke with everyone, keep spirits light.”
“And if the world could remember just one thing?”
She said, “That I had peace within.
That I was joy walking—
Never changing, always talking
With grace that didn’t bend to trends.”
Then I asked,
“If time was running out,
A week… maybe a month?”
She said, “I’d still be me,
Not rushing to do—just being free.”
If she were a leader?
She’d go to the streets,
Listen to the hungry,
Feel their heartbeat.
“Before the men in suits and power,
I’d sit with the poor—feel their hour.”
If she could raise her parents like they did her,
She’d raise them with softness,
No fear to stir.
“Let love be the language,
Let freedom be the air.”
To her five-year-old self,
She’d whisper with pride,
“Don’t let opinions make you hide.”
And to her future self, ten years from today,
“Still dream, still believe—come what may.”
“What would you change?” I asked at last—
She smiled and said,
“I’ve made peace with my past.
I love who I am—no edits required,
Self-love is a flame that’s deeply inspired.”
So here I write,
Not just a blog—
But a whisper,
A walk through fog.
Because sometimes Tuesday
doesn’t come dressed in plans,
It shows up in people,
in moments unplanned.
And today,
The Voice of Silence sat with a star,
And learned that identity
Isn’t about going far—
It’s about shining
right where you are.
So here’s to the light that walks among us.
To the calm, curious, unshaken spirits.
To those who smile when it’s easier not to.
To those who stay true—when change seems safer.
To the stars who remind us that every Tuesday
is a chance to feel again,
to listen deeper,
and to speak softly—
from the soul.
This one’s for you, A-Star. 🌟 Esther Miselo
