no other person on this planet was made for you, they were made for themselves. love is all about choices. no one is going to be perfect for you, and i think we need to stop raising everyone on the belief that someone out there, just one other person in the whole world, was “made for you” because it isn’t true. no one is made for you, besides you. other people belong to themselves. if you want to make it work with someone, it’s about hard work, understanding, compassion, communication, and choice
“That’s why I’m asking you Father one last time: Am I doing the right thing? Am I on the right path? You have to tell me, you have to give me a sign. Give me a sign. Because if you don’t, I’m going to do whatever I…whatever I must.”
The funniest thing you could do in any new outer space adventure / exploration media is have someone invite the ship’s medic to the bridge and they’d be like “fuck no, I’m the main doctor for a whole crew, come see me if you break an arm or something, good luck exploring the surface of the Planet Made of Angry Poison Gas Clouds, With Teeth, Who Love the Flavor of Human Flesh or whatever the fuck it is, adios, see you in the canteen maybe, maybe not I’m fuckin busy.” And you just barely ever see that character again.
Or the doctor is a recurring character and every time anyone needs them it’s like, “Computer, locate the doctor,” and the doctor is always in sick bay. Every time.
“Doctor, could you come to the bridge please? I’d like your opinion.”
“Is it a medical opinion this time?”
“Yes.”
“Then no, bring your medical question down here, to the medical room, the place specifically set aside for medical questions, filled with medical equipment which… get this… I use to answer medical questions.”
This doctor would never appear in any scene, only over intercoms or off screen. They’d have the most neutral, androgynous voice possible. Completely without any specific physical traits other than a refusal to assume roles other than doctor. People clearly know about the doctor but there’s never any specific details mentioned other than maybe like the nurses like the doctor because they’re really professional and considerate.
