"Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said it would be this hard."
horizontal poem

Star Trek is nearly 50 years old now and it’s been around for so long because I think it offers hope for us as a species. The thing people have always been attracted to (with Star Trek) is the idea that we might live beyond this age of conflict and uncertainty. And it’s not only that, but it’s also the ability to work together and live in a world where everyone is accepted no matter who you are.

The original series with Gene Roddenberry was incredibly progressive. It started barely 20 years after the end of World War II, with a Japanese officer aboard the Enterprise, a black woman in charge of an entire division, and a Russian on board—albeit in subordinate roles, but it was an incredibly progressive move. It offered this utopian idea of cooperation and that’s always going to be something to strive toward until we actually achieve it. In that respect, Star Trek will never go out of fashion.

I don’t think he understands that he can’t say the things to me that he’s used to saying.

I don’t need to hear about his daydreams of me.

Not when I’m trying to move on. 

Jesus. If you tell someone your feelings for them have changed and you can’t see the two of you ever being together, you can’t go back and start telling them how much you’re thinking about them. That’s called leading on.
