Growing up I was always surrounded by petty drama. My friends arguing over the dumbest things and me being caught in the middle. I would always say to myself that in the next stage of life, things won't be this way. "In high school I wont have to deal with this mess". "In college I won't have to be surrounded by stupid drama" "After college, people are too busy to be dramatic - I can't wait until I graduate". But lo and behold, the shit does not end. The drama does not cease. And if anything, it all just gets worse!
Its exhausting to hear people proclaim that you should learn from your mistakes so as not to repeat them in the future. Its frustrating to hear people say that they are mature and "grown" but ultimately resort to childlike behaviors to get their way.
People, take time out to look at yourself in the mirror. Look at yourself long and hard and ask yourself, "Am I the person that I really claim to be?" "Do my actions speak louder than my words? Do I lead by example? Do I allow the thoughts of others to infuse into my own? Am I my own person?"
Reflect upon yourself and you will find that drama, arguments, and judgement from others is all a manifestation of your own insecurities.
Be courageous enough to admit you are not perfect and figure out the steps to grow.
