Drama

I have to admit....I used to be addicted to drama. During my teenage years, everything (I mean EVERYTHING) was blown out of proportion! Every situation felt like 'life or death'. Even into my early twenties, it seemed like unless my life had drama in it, I was bored and would actually start the drama. I was a drama queen.

I can admit this now only because I have reformed. Now, I find that I tend to avoid people who have a lot of drama in their life or cause a lot of drama. I just don't need it to be satisified. Some people may call my life boring, but I am content. I don't have to worry about where my man is at and who he is with because he tells me. I don't have friends who talk bad about me behind my back time and time again because if I find out you are doing it, I no longer associate with you. Life is too short for everything to be dramatic. I know, from experience, that 'drama' takes a lot of time and energy that I can spend living my life and being happy.

In fact, over the past two years, I have had to deal with more drama from my parent's due to their divorce than in most other aspects of my life and I HATED IT! To be honest, I stopped speaking to both of my parents for a while until they could handle not putting me in the middle of their drama because I couldn't handle it anymore.

I don't know why I thought of this. I just figured I would share some of my random thoughts. I'm happy my life is less dramatic than it was in the past. Don't get me wrong, I still have crisis situations pop up and work stress and friction with family and friends at times, but I handle them a lot differently than when I was younger. And I like it. It's good to grow up in some ways.
