https://fb.watch/kjYbMa65Yk/?mibextid=l2pjGR saw this, and cried again- needed to say thank you again I would not be here if it wasn’t for you thes goofballs and TNG- I hope you know what a difference you make
Beautifully written and such an honest article. Troi means a lot to many people. Troi and my idol Gloria Estefan have taught me about self love, self respect, and that we´re all beautiful in our own way. I was diagnosed with Attention Defacit with Hyper Activity Disorder, a Learning Disability, and slightly Dislexic when I was 6 years old. I was bullied a lot at school (and I went to a special needs school) and never really felt accepted by certain fanily members because I´m disabled. It was both a fictional charecter and Gloria Estefan who inspired me to get an education. That eveyone goes through tough times but, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. That love, laughter, and music make the world a much more tolleratable place. I´ve always been empathetic. When I was 24 I went to the neurologists and was diagnosed with anxiety disorder. I have to take pills for anxiety for the rest of my life now. I don´t feel as alone as I used to. I have found others that like TNG like I do. &, fans of Gloria Estefan that have become like a 2nd family. I feel more accepted than ever.
Thank you for sharing with this now. I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD and Sensory Processing Disorder(part of the ADHD) until a couple years ago. The SPD affects my spatial awareness and the ADHD was always mistaken as anxiety and absentmindedness. It is difficult to navigate life sometime, especially when you feel alone or different and don’t know why you’re different. I’m so happy you’ve found acceptance though. Having people who accept you as the person you are is so important. Deanna Troi and River Song are 2 characters who have always helped get me through the trials and tribulations of life.
I’ve said this before, but Troi was who I needed growing up and even now. I found my self relating to her character in so many ways. I’ve always been an outcast. Highly sensitive to mine and others emotions and pain (to the point where I would feel like I was going through/experiencing what they were, introverted and basically being on a different wave length from ’the norm’. Marina also helped me in her own way. Showing me how to be confident in myself and stand up for myself. Also, to not take the negative words and opinions of others personally. Marina is truly an incredible person.
I know right. I´m really gonna miss all of the TNG cast. It´s so tough. We menenials grew up watching TNG: I was born in 1981. I was about 6 when the showed started aring on t.v and I absolutly loved it. Still do. I wish that they would do one more TNG movie and/or special appearances on Legacy if it ever happens.
I grew up w Deanna Troi as my heroine. She taught me about empathy and patience in many ways. How to be kind to everyone no matter what they look like or their background. As an adult, I discovered that you, @Marina , were the same as Deanna in those regards. You, and your Trek family, have influenced, guided, encouraged and saved countless souls over the years. Thank you is too small but it's all I have. 💗
