A story from A fan

Born in the 80ies, I started watching TNG when I was around 10 years old and I completely fell in love with it. I never had a lot of friends, I felt lost and truly like an alien, growing up in a rural area with narrowminded people. Star Trek helped me keep a positive outlook, to work towards a better future. I lived for it. When I was a teenager my room was plastered with Star Trek posters, not boybands.

My husband lost his hair in his late twenties, I always joked that I basically married my first crush, Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
