#whenever i see this #i can’t help but think #this sums of jim’s life #he was born in the middle of a battle in space #his life hanging on just by the edge #and through out his life he would pick himself up #try to put himself onto more stable ground #but between frank and sam leaving and tarsus iv #he kept getting knocked back over that edge #but when he joined starfleet he thought #maybe just maybe he wouldn’t have to fall over that edge and have to pull himself back up again #but after nero he finds out he’s just getting knocked off new edges #and unlike before where he only had himself to live for #he has a whole crew to keep safe and the only way to do that is to pull himself back up #because jim kirk despite everything #will always #always pull himself up off the edge #the only difference now is that he has people waiting there for him when he does #people he loves and cares about #people who love and care about him in return #jim kirk #xi #stid #light of my life #i love jim kirk so much gjalskdfjas (via almostkarl)
