I consider my male drama teacher as a second father, is that normal? I think it is...
I have a ton of respect for him, for when he entered my life, it just felt so bright and joyful. He is the reason for my positivity and optimism.
When I left my former school, where he currently teaches, I was heartbroken because I wouldn't be able to see him frequently - but it's alright. I see him once every week during his theater company.
He looks as if he hates the world and I know that he is suffering from stress and depression, but deep down, he is a sensitive person full of charm, positivity, and laughter.
He has impacted and influenced my life and I am grateful for that. without him, I don't know if I would be as positive as today.
However.
Recently my imagination has been running wild, telling me that he will leave and lead a new life. I am not prepared for that yet. If he were to leave, I don't know what I would be doing with my life, I would probably jump back on the track of depression and despair. I would cry, I would become emotionless, I would lock myself out from this world...
But it's okay because obstacles bring life lessons and experiences :). That's just part of life. Unfortunately.
