There was this teacher in grade school that really helped me in terms of my confidence and social abilities. Over the years I have had memories jumping around in my head and wondered where he was in life now. I remember the photos of his kids on his desk and the stories he’d tell us about traveling around the world with his wife.

Lately Iv gotten this strong sense to find him and share my thoughts and appreciation for him as an educator. I could only remember his last name but managed to find him pretty quickly on Facebook. I seen his beautiful wife and grown up kids and I could see he was still traveling. It was a great feeling to get the chance to connect.

So I click “add friend” and think it’s harmless. I mean, I’m a 30 year old woman now… this shouldn’t come off as flirting when the guy is so much older and STILL a teacher? Surely he has had students connect with him before right? I didn’t think anything of it. I just figured if he accepted the friend request I would shoot him a quick message and thank him.

Well, around 12am last night I get a notification that he accepted my friend request and has sent me a message. I open it up and it’s a short paragraph about how beautiful and sensual I am and how he wishes to caress my soft skin. I have never blocked someone so fast.

I’ll be appreciating my past educators impact on me from a mental standpoint from now on.
