Finished season 2 of "Picard" tonight. That last episode was hard to watch. It finally hit real close to some of my own traumas that I had already recognized it was dancing around. Healing hurts, though...and this was important for me. Those characters raised me, and now they're guiding me one last time.
I bet season 3 is going to be rough.

People often make it sound like knowing the difference between fiction and reality is all that matters. That ignores why humans tell stories. And, yeah...I knew it was fiction when I was a kid. But those characters gave me examples of the kind of person I could become. When I trusted no one, I found safe space in books, movies, and episodes. They raised me.
@weirdfizz , I once dreamed of flying free because I had read Anne McCaffrey.
She didn't raise me, but definitely helped me get by and aspire.
