[ 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. ]
This isn't about being bored. I'm not. I'm simply not used to sitting around as often as I am now. Being left to your thoughts for so long, your thoughts can quicky become your enemy.

Survival from a young age can have its advantages the older you get.

As far as volunteering goes, it depends on where your interests lie. I was homeless and I'm on the LGBTQIA spectrum, so most of what I do is in shelters or support groups/hotlines.

Do you mind if I ask what the LGBTQIA spectrum is?

[ .. ah. yeah, she supposes in a galaxy like the one leia's from, people like alex are the norm and treated just like anyone else. ] Sure. It stands for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex Asexual. Basically it's meant to represent anyone that doesn't fit neatly into heterosexual/cisgender labels. There's a huge problem on this planet (and with most versions of this planet) where people on that spectrum often struggle with things like getting and keeping the same basic rights as everyone else, discrimination, abuse, general misunderstanding.
I'm trans and genderfluid myself, so it's hugely important to me personally.
