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,
