[ She'll break her month long network radio silence today, though it was never radio silence as she'd been lurking and responding through private conversations. Now she'll address the network as a whole, prepared or not for who might respond. ]

This is a question for everyone, the only exception being those who share with me the same galaxy.

Where you're from, what did you do? Did you live your life freely? Were you in charge of anything or anyone?

For me, there has been nothing but a war. It was all I knew. And now that I'm here, I admit I'm at a loss on what I should do with myself. I feel as though I'm living a quiet life, something I never thought possible. But it feels like a life without direction.

Should I take this time to reflect and relax? How?

It's a difficult concept to grasp when I've been at the front for so long, leading and guiding teams and missions.

[ If this outs her then Leia won't care so much. It's obvious by her involvement back home that she's at the head of the Rebellion. Nothing can come of it here and nothing can come of it back home, from what she's been told. ]

i do whatever pleases me
here and in my own world
if youre idle enough that your thoughts are turning against you then you need better distractions
this place wont give you that

It's good to talk on. To share experiences and to learn from. Or that's how I'm finding it.

I had better distractions back home. Here, not so much.

[blacktemper]

i havent seen any worthwhile experiences here
just loudmouths who shouldnt have been given a platform

your time is what you make of it
if you cant find anything to keep you suitably busy thats because youre not looking hard enough

How long have you been here? You must've seen or heard of a lot?

So then I should go out and find things to do with my time instead of taking it to the network.
