| Name | Felicia L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting outside, writing a poem on my phone about the chaos in this universe and the beauty of it all. Then, I decided to put my phone down and embrace the quiet atmosphere without a distracting screen before me. I looked up at the sky a second later and about 5 seconds in, I witnessed that beautiful chaos first-hand. It brought a tear to my eye. I didn't need to speak for the universe anymore. The universe spoke for itself. |
