Sad studio story (sss)

| I work in a photography studio near my house. Usually i only take reservations, edit photos or just clean the place.But recently the owner have been teaching me how to hold a camera and how to do his job. At first i didn't like it cause I'm not really good with tech. but one day this girl enters the studio and she gives me her order and the boss tells me to take the pictures. I hesitate for a second but then i lead her to the room and set up everything. Continued


| [2] i tell her how to ser and where to look as i been taught. She obeys with a gorgeous smile. It felt really good. I took some pictures and i told her ther weren't good so we have to do it again. I give her different instructions and god she's just sitting there doing what i say with that smile. After like 12 minutes i tell her to come after 2 days to take the printed pictures.
After 2 days of nerve-wracking anticipation she walks through ghe door wearing a pretty yellow dress--


| [3] i was mesmerised by her couldn't even say anything. But then it hits me, if i give her the pictures now I'll never be able to see her again. It drove me crazy i couldn't look up to her i called the boss to take my place and i just walked out. It felt really depressing how i caught feelings for a complete stranger just for some silly things. Next day i go back normally to work. 1 week later this whole scenario repeats itself with a different person. I break my heart again.-


| [4] i learned how to love people through the lens. They come and go and they leave parts of them in me. Days come and go and i practically manage the place with the boss mostly not around. A month - i guess? - later, the girl from the very first time with the yellow dress walks in and i freeze in my place. In this kind of job you never see the same person twice in a year, talk about months. She walks slowly to my desk and tells me she wants pictures for a passport. -


| kill yourself while it is still Halloween in some parts of the world to be revived as a ghost and haunt her picture wanting entity


| This is really, really cute. I don't even care if op is making it up.


| Yea i have to let it out anyways so
[5] it's like she destroyed what I've been building for the past month. I felt this pain in my chest but smiled anyways and the very first night is in my head. Pretty much wrapped it up in a few minutes without saying much. I notice she's not smiling like i remember. I really had to keep my my mouth shut to keep this job. Before she leaves she says goodbye and that's it she's not there. I took my time editing the pictures for the next two days-


| [5] back then i had no one to talk to except for the boss and tbh he's not that much of a great person but he listens. I told him everything since day 1 and was expecting him to scold me or even worse. But he didn't. He said he went through this before, and says it's pretty normal for people like us to easily catch feelings but it's so hard to let it go. It's like a curse. Told me even that i could take the day off and he'll be the one to give her the new pictures.


| [7] i fought the urge to accept his kindness because after all i want to see her one last time even though i shouldn't. Told him I'll be fine on my own and i need this to grow up. I go fetch the pictures on my own and i held them really close to me. I felt pathetic and i wanted this be over asap.
I sat on my desk waiting for her to show up and end this thing.
The moment she entered the studio was unforgettable. She was wearing the same yellow dress and she was smiling -


| [8] she says hi and she's so enthusiastic she was talking so fast and loud i couldn't make sense of it. She said she didn't want the pictures no more because she was being forced to move out to a different country with her father but now this thing is cancelled really can't remember her reasons as i was smiling like an idiot. For the very first time i say something meaningful and ask her about her name. She said it with the widest smile ever and i felt really warm and alive-


| [9] she paid rest of the money and told me to keep the pictures or to throw them away she didn't care no more. Again i felt the sharp pain in my chest i couldn't tell her how pretty she was or that i wish to see her everday and take pictures of her. I couldn't. She walked out the studio with same energy leaving me there wondering how I'll recover from this. I don't remember giving her my name or she asking about it at all.-


| I regret many things but not giving her my name still feels the worst.I threw her pictures but kept one for myself to remind me how heart crushing this experience was.Me and the boss work in a different place now near the first one so we're more of a work colleagues now because of poor work conditions and high rent.I stopped holding the camera and I'm all about photoshop now. Sometimes i go to the folder containing her first shots and hope i never go through such a thing ever again

| Why didn't you ask her about doing some modelling jobs, with you as the photographer?
Take her picture in public areas of local beauty, you can even try to sell the photos to the tourism board of the places you took the shots.


| There's a thousand thing that i could've done or said but i just couldn't. I didn't accept the fact that i fell for a complete stranger just because of some psychological effect. i was scared to act upon these feelings. I felt really pathetic when i got sad. I was afraid of getting fired. Let alone this complicated idea.

Only losers are held up on stuff they can't change. She can't return, becuase she's being forced to leave.
