I grew up watching him as Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
Star Trek: The Next Generation was the perfect escape for a lonely teenager who lacked social skills.
TNG took me to places that captivated me so completely, my personal upheavals were forgotten, even if only for a while.
This week, the man behind my favourite Captain, Sir Patrick Stewart, transitioned.
It made me appreciate all that he brought to me personally. I never met him. Yet it shows how someone can influence your life, your childhood, in ways they will never know.
For that, I am forever grateful…
Thank you, Sir Patrick. 🖖
I hope there’s a “Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.” waiting for you. ☕
