Question: If tomorrow, the world was ending and you had just enough time to give one final message to your followers—one truth you want them to carry with them—what would you say?

If Tomorrow Were the End

If tomorrow the world were ending, if the sun were setting for the very last time, and I had only a moment to share one final truth with you, I would say this: Love.

Love fiercely, without hesitation. Love the world around you—the fleeting colors of a sunset, the way rain taps against the window, the quiet strength of a growing tree. Love the people in your life—tell them, show them, wrap them in the warmth of your affection. Forgive the small things, hold close the beautiful ones, and never leave love unspoken.

But most of all, love yourself. I don’t mean this in a shallow, self-indulgent way, but in a deep and honest manner. Love yourself in the quiet moments when no one is watching. Be kind to the parts of you that are still healing. Celebrate the victories, no matter how small. Hold your own heart gently, with the same care you would offer to a dear friend.

If everything were to end, I would want you to know that every moment matters. Every smile, every tear, every whispered dream—you have lived, and that is enough. You are enough.

And if tomorrow does come, let this truth be a beginning rather than an end. Let it be a reminder to live today with intention, with gratitude, with joy. Chase the things that light your soul on fire, and leave behind the shadows that no longer serve you.

In the end, all we have is love. So give it, receive it, and let it fill every corner of your world.

With love, always,
Zachary Starr

In Deep: With Zachary Starr

This Week’s Question: “You’ve spoken about how your heart belongs to someone you’ve lost. How do you hold onto love while still allowing yourself to move forward? Do you believe love ever truly fades?”

—

Loss is not something you get over. It’s not a wound that heals clean or a chapter you close neatly before moving on to the next. It’s a thread woven so tightly into the fabric of who you are that no matter how much time passes, you can still feel the pull of it.

I know this because I live it. Every single day.

Loving someone who is no longer here is a paradox. The world moves forward, and you are expected to move with it, but love—real love—does not obey time. It doesn’t lessen because it’s inconvenient, and it doesn’t fade just because the person is gone. It stays. It lingers in old memories, in the echoes of laughter you can still hear, in the spaces they once filled.

And for a long time, I was afraid to move forward. Afraid that if I did, it would mean letting go. That moving forward meant erasing them. But I’ve come to understand something that changed everything for me:

Love isn’t something you leave behind. It’s something you carry with you.

I don’t believe love ever truly fades. Not if it was real. It changes shape, it finds new ways to exist, but it never disappears. It becomes part of you, woven into every decision, every dream, every quiet moment when you close your eyes and still feel them near.

So, how do I hold onto love while still allowing myself to move forward?

By understanding that moving forward isn’t forgetting. It’s honoring. It’s choosing to live in a way that reflects the love I was given. It’s allowing myself to feel joy again, to build something new, to open my heart—not because I’ve let go, but because love, when it’s real, isn’t something that binds you. It’s something that frees you.

I carry them with me in everything I do. In every story I write. In every word I share. In every quiet moment where I look up at the stars and whisper, I remember.

And I always will.

guidance, love, question of the day
If aliens landed and asked you to explain human life in one sentence, what would you say?

If aliens landed and asked me to explain human life in one sentence, I’d say:

“We are beautifully flawed beings driven by love, fear, and the endless search for meaning—forever creating, destroying, healing, and hoping, all while trying to figure out why we’re here.”

How would you explain us?

question of the day
If I could speak to animals, I’d ask them…?

If I could speak to animals, I’d ask them what they really think about humans. Do they see us as strange, unpredictable creatures? Do they wonder why we stress over things that don’t seem to matter in the grand scheme of life? I’d want to know what the world looks like through their eyes—how they experience time, love, friendship, and even grief.

I’d ask birds what it feels like to soar, wolves what it means to belong, and cats why they always seem to know something we don’t. I’d want to hear their stories, their wisdom, the secrets of nature that we’ve forgotten. And most importantly, I’d ask them if they know how much we admire them—how deeply we wish we could live as freely, love as instinctively, and exist as purely as they do.

What would you ask?

question of the day
The last thing I’d do before a zombie apocalypse is…?

The last thing I’d do before a zombie apocalypse is throw one last, legendary party—because if the world is about to go to hell, we might as well have one final night of laughter, music, and good company. I’d gather my favorite people, play the best playlist, and make sure we all had our fill of amazing food and ridiculous fun before survival mode kicked in.

Then, just before things got real, I’d make sure I had my gear ready—because let’s be honest, I wouldn’t just be hiding during the apocalypse. I’d have a safehouse set up, weapons sharpened, and a solid crew to take on whatever undead chaos awaited. If the world’s ending, might as well go out in style or become a legend in the new one.

What would you do?

question of the day
If I had a time machine, the first thing I’d do is…?

If I had a time machine, the first thing I’d do is go back to a moment—one of those perfect, fleeting moments that I didn’t realize would mean so much until it was gone. Maybe a day spent laughing with someone I loved, a quiet evening where everything just felt right, or a conversation I wish I could hold onto forever. I wouldn’t go back to change anything, just to be there again, to soak it all in with the awareness of how precious it truly was.

And then, maybe I’d visit the future—just a little peek—to see where my journey leads. Not for spoilers, but for reassurance. To know that all the hard work, all the heartache, all the dreams I’ve poured myself into meant something. That it all mattered.

But if I’m being honest, I think I’d still come back to now. Because as tempting as time travel sounds, the most important moments are the ones we’re living in real time. And maybe the best thing we can do is treat every moment like one we’d want to revisit—fully present, fully alive, and not waiting for hindsight to remind us how special it was.

If I could have any mythical creature as a sidekick, it would be…?

If I could have any mythical creature as a sidekick, it would be a phoenix. There’s something about the idea of a companion that embodies resilience, rebirth, and the ability to rise from the ashes that just feels right. A phoenix wouldn’t just be a stunning, fiery presence at my side—it would be a constant reminder that no matter how many times life knocks you down, you can always come back stronger.

Plus, imagine the dramatic flair. A glowing, majestic bird perched on my shoulder, bursting into flames at just the right moment for emphasis? Iconic. Not to mention the ability to bring warmth on cold nights, light up dark paths, and maybe even offer a little bit of healing energy when things get rough. A phoenix isn’t just a creature of legend—it’s a symbol of endurance, transformation, and endless possibility. And honestly? That’s the kind of energy I’d want by my side.

What mythical creature would you choose? Why?

question of the day
If I were a ghost, I’d spend my time…?

If I were a ghost, I’d spend my time wandering through old libraries, hidden corners of the world, and places filled with stories. I’d linger where creativity thrives—haunting theaters during late-night rehearsals, watching over writers as they struggle to find the right words, whispering inspiration into the ears of dreamers. I wouldn’t be a scary ghost; I’d be the kind that moves books off shelves to the perfect page someone needs, flickers lights when the mood calls for it, and leaves a faint trace of laughter in the air. And, of course, I’d visit the people I love, just to remind them I’m still around, still watching over them—because even in the afterlife, I wouldn’t be able to stay away from the people and places that mean the most to me.

What would you do?

question of the day
If I could build my dream house, the weirdest room in it would be…?

If I could build my dream house, the weirdest room in it would be a celestial observatory lounge. Picture a massive, domed glass ceiling that gives a perfect view of the night sky, with walls lined with books about space, mythology, and everything in between. There’d be plush seating—oversized pillows, velvet couches, the kind of place where you can just sink in and get lost in thought. A hidden sound system would play soft, atmospheric music, and there would be a starlit glow even when the skies were cloudy. It wouldn’t just be for stargazing; it would be a space for creativity, for dreaming, for disappearing into stories and ideas. A room that feels like stepping into another world, right inside my own home.

What would you include in your home?

question of the day
The perfect breakfast always includes…?

The perfect breakfast always includes something warm, something comforting, and something that feels like a little moment of joy before the day really begins. A strong cup of coffee or tea is non-negotiable—because mornings should start with something rich and soothing. There’s got to be something indulgent, too, like buttery toast, a perfectly made omelet, or maybe pancakes if I’m feeling extra. And if I’m really living my best life, breakfast comes with a slow morning, good music in the background, and no rush to be anywhere—just the simple pleasure of starting the day on my own terms.

What’s part of your perfect breakfast?
