embarkation | 10 Things for Ten People;

For a very long time, I was terrified of ever losing you because I thought, without you, I'd just go right back to the person I was before. But now I know that is completely inaccurate. You certainly helped make me into who I am now, but you also helped me realize I can be that person with or without you. I would just prefer to be that person with you.

Daniel

I have always been utterly fascinated by you as a strong, opinionated woman working in a boy's club. You are extremely intelligent, good-hearted and confident, and I was drawn to you because I wish I could be more like you. And I think, just a little bit, you wish you could be more like me sometimes, too.

Sam

I don't deserve a fraction of the happiness I've found here if you count the numerous indiscretions and thoughtless acts I've committed in my lifetime. I only keep setting you up because you are a good person deserving that happiness, and I hate the fact that I found it and you haven't.

Carolyn

For a very long time you kept me grounded. I'd never had anyone in my life who could hold me by the shoulders and tell me to pull myself together and I listened, and I admit, I came to rely on you for that. But last year, when everything fell apart, you weren't there to tell me I could get through it. And even if it wasn't your obligation or even really your fault, I'm worried there is a small part of me that will never forgive you for abandoning me when I needed you the most.

Mitchell

I think we'd all like to be the bigger person and not admit that we want any of our other friends stranded on this island for any length of time. But I still wish you were here.

Teal'c

If I had been able to take you with me, I would have. And yes, some of that is attributed to the fact that I honestly believe I could have changed you. But at this point even I can't deny that I am angry that I didn't get to raise my own child, and that is was the people who took her away from me who raised her to want to destroy my home. That your beloved Priors who taught you and coddled you were the very ones who burned me alive for my minor transgressions. Mass murder of innocent populations aside, that is precisely why I would rather die again than accept Origin. And that is also why I know you'll never understand why I would.

Adria

I've done well for myself here, because of you. I even am at the point of developing some kind of dialogue with my daughter, because of you. I know neither of us were particularly the romantic type who ever had time in our lives to wish for happy endings, because those were the types of dreams that belonged to other people. But I find myself hoping a lot now that you're happy, wherever you ended up. And even though you've forgotten me, I haven't forgotten you.

KC

Truth be told? I actually kind of like you.

McKay

When I look at you, I see myself two years ago. And sometimes I want to tell you, the most important thing I think I've learned in the last two years is that life is a horrible mess. That bad things will always happen to good people. That no matter how many times you pick your heart back up and put it together, it will break again. That people will always disappoint you and more than that, you will disappoint yourself. And that if you live and try to be happy despite all of that, you will find the things and people who make it worthwhile. But it doesn't help for me to tell you because, the truth is, part of really understanding all that is figuring it out for yourself.

Rose

I lied. The sex was fantastic.

Ba'al

I'm worried that if I let myself love you as much as I want to, you'll get bored and leave. And losing you would be like losing my mom all over again. I had no idea who I was anymore when she died and I don't think I know who I am without you. And that sounds so co-dependent and creepy, but you helped fixed a lot of me that I didn't know was broken. So I really hope who I am when I'm with you is enough to make you want to stay.

Castle

You're strong. And you remind me of myself and I know what you're worried about. And I promise I'll do everything I can to get him back to you. But if I can't, I hope you don't blame me. And I really hope you don't blame yourself.

Alexis

Thanks for the granola bars you hid in my purse last week. I wouldn't have eaten all day if it hadn't been for that.

Sheska

If you hadn't hired me, I wouldn't have any idea what it was like to be a cop without my mom's murder hanging over my head, and I wouldn't know that even without that, being a cop is still what I'm meant to be.

Also, I'm buying the station a new coffee machine. The one we have sucks.

Shepard

Sometimes I really don't get you. I know you've had it rough and you still managed to not turn out jaded. I always thought I had a lot of respect for people who had been through hard times and came out stronger; but I think I have a little more respect for people like you, the ones who come out not angry. I hope you never lose that.

Kaylee

Take care of her. What you guys have is really, really special. And at the end of the day, it's what really matters.

Ryan

It took me not having you around to realize how much I really need you around. Oh, and if you still want to be with her, talk to her. Don't let something good get away because you don't want to accept it.

Esposito

You're the closest thing I had to a best friend for a really long time. And your voice is still the one in my head talking sense into me. I miss you.

Lanie

There are not enough words to thank you for helping me bring him back from that place. I will always be indebted to you for that.

Koizumi

For a really long time, I worried about disappointing you. I worried I wasn't good enough or strong enough to be the person you wanted me to be and do what I needed to do to bring you justice. But he was right, and I don't think you would have wanted me to throw my life away for this. I'm not giving up, not in the least, but I'm trying to move on. You'd really, really like him. And I think you'd be really happy for me. And I think, after a really long time, I'm almost happy, too.

I love you.
