I’m a giant softy, for sure, but I honestly think these days it’s probably considered more masculine to be emotionally connected.
“I got a fan letter from a young lady. It was a suicide note.
So I called her, and I said, “Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan. Scotty, from Star Trek.” I said, “I’m doing a convention in Indianapolis. I wanna see you there.”
I saw her — boy, I’m telling you, I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was definitely suicide. Somebody had to help her, somehow. And obviously she wasn’t going to the right people.
I said to her, “I’m doing a convention two weeks from now in St. Louis.” And two weeks from then, in somewhere else, you know? She also came to New York - she was able to afford to got to these places. That went on for two or three years, maybe eighteen times. And all I did was talk positive things to her.
And then all of the sudden — nothing. I didn’t hear anything. I had no idea what had happened to her because I never really saved her address.
Eight years later, I get a letter saying, “I do want to thank you so much for what you did for me, because I just got my Master’s degree in electronic engineering.”
That’s…to me, the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

Hello :)
So, this is a personal blog... and also my only blog. It's random, it's bipolar, it's whatever the hell I feel like rebloging/posting so don't expect much, okie? ;P I'll only disappoint. I'm a bit shy, but if you leave any goodies in my ask, I'll give you cookies. With chocolate chips *not included in the cookies, but on the side*
I mostly post things about Quotes/One Direction but you might also see Shows I obsess over, personals, Peter Pan, etc.
Have a lovely day. :) xx
Also, if you ever need to vent, my ask box is always open. If you need advice, someone to listen, whatever. I'm here, I care. Promise xx
