Incomplete Pass: Chaser: The last child of Alderaan, and hope

My nerdom is well documented but I'd just like to say that while I'll miss Carrie Fisher for bringing an iconic mythology into my life, I'll miss her fearlessness in the face of her mental illnesses more.

“You can lead a normal life, whatever that is.” Carrie said that after accepting an award for her advocacy work. That'll stick with you when you're dealing with own struggles, and need hope.

Life is short, unjust and wholly an experiment in disaster but we gotta savor every second of it. You can find hope anywhere, even from the people behind your nerd space soap opera.
