The thing about people and drama....

Actually I should pluralize "thing" to "things." My mantra for the last couple of years has been ABSOLUTELY NO DRAMA and I have been trying my darndest to live by it. However, I have had to make some sacrifices to try to achieve this level of utopia. For example, I've had to forgo any real committed relationship with the opposite sex because we all know that relationships come with some type of drama. Also letting go of friendships with people that took more energy out of you than they contributed to the friendship. And let's not forget the people that are just all about drama and can't go through a day without some type of drama (now that's not too much of a sacrifice but it's still a source of drama).
Now I say all this because I wanted to share what I have learned about people and drama during the last couple of years:

• Drama is like crack to some people. Seriously, they need to come up with a rehab program for these people.
• Rumors + Gossip=Drama
• Relationships=Drama
• Never assume that all gossip or rumors are true. If it's about someone you care about, please let them know about it. It's the humane thing to do.
• You shouldn't involve yourself or other people if it doesn't concern yourself or them in someone else's drama.
• Some drama you can't control. For example, family drama. Unfortunately, you were born into this.
• Don't make an issue the size of a mole hill into a mountain. If you notice a pattern here, then maybe you should consult a professional.
• There is a level of being too nice and giving. Trust me on this one.
• If all the stories you tell are about other people, then you might want to reevaluate your own life. Just a thought.
• And the most important thing I've learned is PEOPLE=DRAMA

That's right....We as people, humans, or whatever life form you would like to call us, will always equal some type or form of drama. And the more people you have in your life, the likelihood of an increase in drama in your life is very great. So there you have it...my thoughts about people and drama. I have lost faith in trying to find drama free utopia....It is impossible.

Seriously, if I say "I understand but I really don't give a sh*#," I am not trying to be funny.

Just Stop The Drama,

Changes....

Sorry for being M.I.A. but I have been going through some changes. Eventhough this is not such a new thing for me, "going through changes," as most of you that have known me for awhile. I now live in Waikiki which is great but I still miss Kailua at times. It marks a new chapter because I will be living by myself for the next 8 months. This will be a first for me. I have always lived with someone. My friends that have lived by themselves for awhile say that it's time for me to do the same or to at least experience it. I am doing fine and kind of enjoying it. School has started up and I already feel behind! Maybe because I still haven't recuperated from last semester. Wow...where did the time go? I mean I did have a month break and I even stayed here for the holidays so where did the time go that I was going to do all my relaxing in? I didn't even go to the beach and I live in Hawaii! Now if that isn't pathetic, I'm not sure what is? I think it's time to reevaluate my priorities again ; - )
I will try to check in a little more often now. I hope all is well with everyone and that the New Year kicked off in a great way ; - )

Love and kisses,
Rosebud
