I've seen a lot of memes about his passing. This somehow hit me harder.

    I didn't realize how attached people were

    While not knowing him directly, they still have a profound influence on our memory and history. His Picard character channels the ideals many of us would like to fulfill for ourselves and humanity at large. A part of us has been cut off.

    There's a few people I don't know who I've attached to pretty hard over my life. They are all either very old or very dead. But they all made their mark in who I am as a person.

    Roberta Bondar

    Jane Goodall

    Patrick Stewart

    Ian McKellen

    David Attenborough

    Carl Sagan

    I think when Sir David Attenborough passes, I'm going to cry in a closet for a week like Moira Rose.

    His passing hit me like a ton of bricks. Brought me joy as a kid. Made me laugh with his crassness as a teen/young adult. Saw the goodness in him with his actions outside of media. Still hurts, just not as much with time.
