I have have recently started to say... Drama Llama. I don't know why, but apparently, everyone, even males (who are completely devoid of estrogen and ovaries I hope) seem to be getting their periods. All the time.Men don't admit to being into drama, but they cause it just as much as women. Women claim to hate women for the reason they cause drama, but will still cause it themselves. I cause a fair share myself.
I raise a question: Is there some scientific reason why people in my "special" and "turbulent" age group have a need to cause drama? Do we get our metaphorical rocks off on drama?
Who dates who - She has herpes!? - He has only one nut!? - What the security guard did to your mom last night - blah blah blah. Drama has many faces. Each one, in the grand scheme of life... Stupid. Sit down and think to yourself [Insert here a mention of how cold the author is and that the space bar is being a pain in the ass to hit because of it.] what of it will matter in 10 years? 10 years is a long time. Do you remember 10 years ago? I hardly do. And they are good memories. Good memories will stay longer that the bad ones.
I'm externally a pessimist, internally an optimist. Shit sucks, but there is always a silver lining so to say. Even the worst of situations has a good reason to have occurred. Now, you could say my dad died, what's good about that. Well, not much. I could play cynical and say, well your mom could find someone who is good in bed, and that's one less towards overpopulation.
That's just plain mean. But it somewhat proves my point. To anyone who just had a dad die, sorry about that. First thing into my head. Nice isn't what comes naturally to me. But there is always a bright side to everything. You broke up with someone? Now you're single and can bone anything that moves. Lost your leg? Now you can be a dick to everyone and cut every single line. Failed a test? You've no learned one way not to pass a test. Totaled your car? You'll be able to enjoy a bike ride and get some exercise.
It's not complex what I'm suggesting. I'm not even using big politician-esque words. Just let the drama roll off. If it has nothing to do with you, ignore it. Really, don't get involved in people's shit. Be mature. Your life will get somewhat more boring, I'm sure, but you'd probably live an extra 10 years due to the reduced stress levels. Kill the Drama Llama and move on. Understand that not every situation is life or death. When you pull your friend to the side to tell them a "secret" not only have you pissed off everyone else in the area, but you're now spreading the Drama Llama about, and no one really wants that.
And for people reading this, this is not only a suggestion to y'all, but it is now going to be my philosophy. At least I'll try haha.
