Personal Log of Associate Professor Alison Harkins
I received a Starfleet communication this morning which advised Starfleet staff on Vulcan of the launch of the new Intrepid class starship, the U.S.S Voyager. And on its bridge as its captain, Kathryn Janeway. She was embarking on the next stage of her career, and her personal life, and I wasn’t part of it.
I miss her. I miss her with every inch, every cell, every part of my being. Light years separate us, hearts and lives apart. The last time we saw each other was the final chapter in our passionate love affair and our friendship. I could not be in her presence knowing that she was happy with Mark. I could not stand by and watch her marry him. And so, with emotional courage I broke the bonds of friendship (and ex-lovers). It was I who had severed ties, and it cut me to pieces.
But my time here on Vulcan has helped me deal with my emotions. I feel stronger than before. I am learning to detach myself and control the most intense human emotions. Perhaps one day I can see her again, see her happy and content with Mark, and not feel sadness and regret.
