Drama

The thought of how much people thrive off of drama is shocking.  Drama is sort of like one of those love-hate relationships.  Like the kind you have with your dog.  You love him to pieces- his puppy dog eyes, constant love, and permanent smile that always makes your day better.  But you hate standing out in the cold while he spends 5 minutes taking a dump.   The love supersedes the hate, though, so you keep him. 

Drama is much the same.  We love talking about the latest in sports, news, and…. (people’s favorite) the friend-that-we-currently-have-but-is-on-the-verge-of-becoming-an-acquaintance.   We love talking about this person to anyone and everyone that will listen.  Before you know it, “he said she said” starts turning corners and makes its way into your lap.  You end up turning into that “friend” you were originally gossiping about.  That, we hate.

Yet we still do it.  We still talk and talk and talk even when we know there are consequences at stake.  But why?  Well, life would be boring, some would say.   

I don’t understand it all.  Give me a cup of coffee, a scone, and a friend that wants to talk about those 2 food items and I’m good to go.  This, of course, would be on some people’s “top 10 most boring conversation topics” list, but I’m okay with that.  Travel, insights on life, books.   And don’t even get me going on diseases, nutrition deficiencies, and ailments.  I like it all.  Just keep me away from politics and the girl sitting over there.  Those things I don’t want to talk about.

But, drama will always be a part of our world.  So talk about what you wish.  Just be prepared.

And watch your back ;)
