Person vs. People

Across the table, he looked at me and said, "It's the people that ruin it for me."

I wasn't sure about that. I love the people.

But then I remembered walking down the street and some popular kid asked me how my day was going. He just looked at me and asked it. Like it was the most normal thing in the world.

Like he didn't do what he so obviously did at school, what he'd do later that day.

Maybe the people do ruin things. We've ruined before as people.

The one I love and will always love and be loved as is the person. Sometimes I wish everyone'd come to school and just sit around and tell everyone else every thought that's entered their head.

Imagine the shock. Oh, you feel guilty about that, too? I thought that was just me. I did it because I saw no evidence of guilt in your eyes.
