It was not the first time that I was seeing you, but it was the first time I was experiencing life with you. To be very honest, it was not you who drove me into watching this show. I came to live this journey with some others, and I could not even connect with you for a few days. In no time, a handsome, good-looking man who seemed arrogant and aggressive turned to be my heartbeat. Every other day, I would watch you the most I could. From watching you on TV to fighting for you on Twitter, you became a part of my life more than the people who were physically near me. I learned and learned and kept learning from you. You were my mentor during some crucial times when all you were doing was living your life. I want to thank you for all that you taught me.

I usually write about true crime, shows on Netflix, or interesting things in my life but today I need to write about something to get it off my chest. It’s probably mostly my fault, but I believe the situation worsened because of the other party thinking I did it out of an ill will.
