My heart goes out to all of the SWAT fans tonight. I’m right there with you.
Chris Alonso was the first character I ever saw myself in on tv. A bisexual, badass, female cop. The daughter of an alcoholic mother and a SA survivor. All whose heart was rooted in making life better for women like her everywhere. This one hurts. Not seeing her on my tv this fall after 5 years will hurt. But I'm so grateful for all of the joy, memories, and representation she has given me. I'm a damn proud bisexual woman, SA survivor, and daughter of an alcoholic pursuing a career in politics to change the world. Thank you, Lina. You made this girl seen.
As for me, I simply do not know, and I’m okay with that. There are things that I want to write. There’s a lot of my life I want to share with you- I’m finally on my way up. I don’t feel “finished” yet. I still have a love for writing and for you all. I don’t know how many more stories I have in me, when I’ll write again, if I’ll pick SWAT back up in the fall, or when I’ll be ready to close this down. Time will tell and I will follow my heart on that journey. But as of now, I’m not ready yet. Every one of you know that I never force anything and I won’t start today. I will simply see you when the time is right. Until then, thanks for sticking with me. It’s been a crazy ride. <3 -Sharna
