I love how this image drives forward the emotion that you described in watching the stars. It portrays that longing as well as a sense of calm serenity. It is interesting about how therapeutic photography can be for anyone. This image is really powerful. Not because it is taken with the correct exposure settings and composition, but because of the heart and emotion that is poured into the shot. Thank you for sharing!
