What is Star Safe?
“Stay safe” is a common expression, either as a banal pleasantry, or a sincere wish to someone for whom we care deeply. Whatever the case, it implies hope to endure whatever difficulties or obstacles may lie ahead. This comes with understanding that some things are beyond our control. Such circumstances seem more present now than they ever have been. In keeping with the human tradition of finding positivity in difficult times, our “star safe” theme seeks to add whimsy and playfulness to this common saying. The meaning is the same, but the presentation serves to defy an atmosphere that would otherwise bring one down.
