people. I'm surrounded by them. sometimes I wish I wasn't. I'd rather be surrounded by apples.
at least...I wish I could pick the best apples out of the bunch and throw the mushy, brown ones away. you know the kind - the kind that look tasty but only end up getting stuck in your teeth and leaving you with bad breath? those kind. and I'm talking about apples in a very figurative way. in other words, the people who take your nice happy day and sour it with their bad day. you know the saying 'one bad apple spoils the whole bunch?'. well it's also true that 'one person's bad day spoils everyone else's'. it takes just one person to be critical, or complain, or step on your toe, and immediately you're in a bad mood. that is, if you let yourself.
which in my case, is faaaar too easy to do.
and then there's those rare people you happen to come across every now and again who just brim over with good-apple-ness. you want to be next to them to see if it will rub off. they're crisp and delicious to the core and when you hang out with them you always leave feeling like you've tasted just a tiny bit of heaven. they encourage you. they strengthen you. they refresh you.
it makes me kind of wonder which apple I am.
