You'll know how to reach me and I'll always answer. But right now, still a few months out? No way in hell anyone but myself gets to know yet. Not even my girl who's coming with knows. Not this far in advance, too dangerous.

I'm not pretending. You're James Tiberius Goddamn Kirk and if you don't eclipse your father and then some I will be throughly disappointed. Stop lying to yourself and living in his shadow and embrace who you really are.
