The first time I saw you was in Harry Potter when I was 4, I didn't think much of it then but when I turned 15 and re-watched the Hps I first recognized myself in Snape, I then researched more about you and was completely mesmerized by your life and roles. Finding you was like finding someone I didn't know i needed until I did. Watching Interviews and movies just brings me a lot of comfort. You made me want to be more myself outside, to accept who I truly was and not hide it. Seeing you made me want to not rush my life, I want to take time to appreciate art, to appreciate quiet moments. I was 6 when you left us but I can only grief you now, now that I truly know who you were. You were such a great man, I aspire to be like you when I grow up, truly.
