Is it strange that I like to observe people as if they are characters in a novel? Whenever I read someone’s experience or thoughts in general, it feels as if I am reading a novel and this is the protagonist speaking to me. Perhaps it’s a disconnect from humanity in a way, who knows. However, I mean it in an endearing way more often than not. The differences and similarities between people is fascinating, and I like to observe that. Perhaps the post is just detailing an event from their day that upset them, but it’s somewhat intriguing to me. You’re the character in a book that I’m rooting for or that I’m gently disagreeing with. Don’t worry small protagonist, I see you.
