Pien Brouwers | Lwaxana Troi “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”

“I absolutely adore Lwaxana Troi. She is flamboyant, over-the-top in her antics, and doesn’t back down for anything or anyone. She is so confident in who she is and what she wants, doesn’t let people tell her who to be or how to behave, and holds such a deep passion for those she cares about.

There’s so much that I can learn from her. She knows her self worth, her value, and isn’t afraid to take up the space she feels she deserves. Her strong independence is very inspiring, and I wish I had someone like Lwaxana in my life. Someone to show me how to find enjoyment in everything. She has suffered some great losses in her life, and despite it she loves freely and deeply. She seems to hold worlds of wisdom and experience, and somehow has such an optimistic outlook on everything, even when things aren’t looking very bright. 

Lwaxana lives her life the way she wants to, unapologetically, and to me there’s nothing more inspiring than that!”
