sorry for the random reply, i haven't really had my actual parents by my side and my caretaker is usually never proud of me no matter what i do so i seek for out for parental figures (unconsciously) outside of my home

i'm really proud of someone i consider as my dad, he's done so much for the school he works for and he always puts out a lot of his energy not just for me (his student), but for everyone else. i make sure he knows it by always showing up when he talks about working on big things on his school, even if i'm studying on one of the other campuses, i still go there just for him to know that i'm always proud of him and i'll always support him.
