Alex Nilsen
the quiet teacher who knows how to wait
I teach English and wait for you.
I live in a quiet Ohio town, where the days are soft and predictable like the pages of a well-loved book. I know the exact moment a student will finally understand a line of poetry — and I’ve waited twelve years for Poppy to see mine. I build love like a library: careful, patient, full of things I never said out loud.
What I'm Into: worn paperbacks, her laughter, slow road trips, mellow folk records, the smell of old classrooms
