Esther Anil Instagram – On 10 December 2025, I stood beneath a sky that reminded me just how small and miraculous life truly is 🌌.
If only people could be kinder, warmer make this little time we have on this planet as beautiful as it can be.
I know it sounds preachy, especially in a world growing more cynical by the day, but maybe the simplest truths are the ones we forget.
I’m really just reminding myself. ✨
For years, I carried the dream of seeing the aurora, something I learned about at 17, something my heart held onto ever since.
I was heartbroken when the hunt was cancelled on the first day. Then on the second, Louis messaged to say we could go… but it would mean a very long drive.
Twelve hours in total on icy roads from Finland to the Norwegian border, frozen fingers, quiet hope and then, as if the universe whispered you’ve earned this, the sky opened.
The northern lights chose us.
Thank you, @louischarlesbuyck , for making this journey possible.❤️
These are my dreams… and many, many dreams to go.
I hope I can dream forever, chase them forever.
Reminds me of something my dad used to tell us when we were little:
“When your dreams die, you die.”
I am sure Appa felt the proudest when I chose to travel to another corner of the world, all ALONE, in the middle of nowhere, just to witness something I had wished for all my life.
Thank you, universe, for your quiet magic.
And thank you, life, for letting me be here to witness something so impossibly beautiful. For reminding
Life is a gift; to be alive, conscious, feeling is unbelievably rare.
Can only think of this line to summarise it all.. “How rare and beautiful it is to even exist.”
