Beginnings

A blogger I follow asked people to tell her how they found her blog, and I really wanted to say something.

I wanted to tell her that she was the first person I had encountered who was open and easy about a lifestyle that my environment had never before put in front of me. I wanted to tell her that she was the first place I learned about slash. I wanted to tell her that she was where I found Spock and Kirk and Bones and just Star  Trek, where I met with something I could be really passionate about for the first time in my life. I wanted to tell her that she opened my eyes to an entirely new set of possibilities, that she shaped my perceptions of the world and helped me to accept what I found without prejudice. She was my guide into fandom, and because of that introduction, I found and still have my closest friends.

I wanted to tell her so much.

But this was all a bit verbose and probably overwhelming and too . . . serious. So I just liked a post that said something sort of similar and left it alone.

I had to tell someone.

Thanks, Brittany.
