If Star Trek were a person I’d tell it how much it has meant to me across the years.
I would thank it for always providing me with a new, different perspective, even if at the time I didn’t understand it or accept it.
I would give thanks for always reminding me that the future will be whatever words and actions we invest into those around us every day.
I would give them thanks for uplifting inspiration in all arts, from cinema to cartooning, writing, painting and music.
I would thank them for keeping me and a great many others for looking forward to something even when things everywhere look dismal. (It has literally saved my life and this is the first time I’ve ever said it.) I would say that no matter how my life comes to a close, I will be forever grateful to all the talents on screen and off for making me feel that things will be okay.
