“How could this episode be impactful in any way?
Ive always had a fear of change and growing up.
I always assumed that I would be happy with these changes one day.
This episode showed me that this might not happen because change is a normal, human thing.
Everyone is scared of it, but its not going away anytime soon.
So what do we do?
We have to learn to just live with it.
We cant be scared, or it will ruin us.
It can make you scared of living.

My ex-husband and I lost a child and the relationship between us was irreparably broken.
Like, we tried to find happiness in what was left, but it felt forced.
You dont go crazy trying to fill it.'

Its been 11 years and Ill never forget the film that helped me do it.

“The Bearhas changed my life in so many ways.
Dedication to serving others and making them at their most comfortable transforms us into better people.
He sees the hidden potential in all the people in his life and helps them find their greatness.
He explains why certain terms are used as a sign of respect.
If someone asks him to try a dish, he compliments them first and then critiques them.
If someone has a question, he stops what he is doing and gives them his full attention.”
“As a sidebar, there is also the moment with Chef Terry and Richie peeling mushrooms.
I volunteer with a high school theater, doing costumes for theirmusicals.
I would always build something small into the outfits for those cast members that the audience can’t see.
The students now know that I do this, and they look for that little extra bit.
Service and art, whatever art it is, blankets others with love and appreciation.”

Bella Baxter inspired me so much, especially her growing character development and intelligence.
“In the early ’90s, I was in high school in the Midwest.
One troupe member was Scott Thompson, an unapologetically gay actor and comedian.
He performed skits and monologues that were absolutely amazing many of them regarding homosexuality.
I am SO grateful for that show and Scott Thompson for smashing stereotypes, especially during that time.
I know my views and politics would be very, very different today if not for that show.”

“The Star Trekseries and movies.
Yeah, I know some dorky sci-fi.
But hear me out: My dad got me into it as a kid.
Thanks in part to technology, there was no more poverty, hunger, or homelessness.
Most diseases and injuries could be easily cured.
People were free to pursue their passions.
Racism, homophobia, misogyny, and so on were practically nonexistent.
So, I became very optimistic for the future while acknowledging that change takes time.
So, ever since, most people know me as the optimistic tech guy!”
