No more DRAMA.. And mean it

I swear, as soon as people start throwing out big names, places and things our ignitions are lit, a tinge of nosey"NESS" sets in and we sit, patiently on pins and needles awaiting the dish of more drama.

I know everyone is yelling, "I'm passed drama but YET we're wheeled in,in some way shape or form. I try not to be judgemental because I went through the phase of being in everyone's business until I learned the importance of sweeping around MY own front door.

I graduated high school in 1997. I'll never forget the words of one of my fellow classmates. She said( and I quote verbatim)"Best wishes in life Nek-Nek. I'm glad to have gotten to know you and watch our friendship mature. Remember, drama isn't for everyone BUT for some people it makes them grow.(thnx T.L, miss u girl)

As I grew and matured, I learned to involve myself in different social groups in hopes that drama wouldn't find me. My 1st year of college, I can honestly say every corner I turned, I swear drama was lurking. I didn't stay on campus but I knew EVERYTHING as if I did.
During one of our night events it hit me, my college was super small and everyone knew each other regardless if you lived on campus or not.

As I evolved as a person and experienced different things, Tara's statement began to ring.. Drama makes people grow.. Hmmmm, as long as I flourished with getting a rise out of being in everyone's business and NOT my own, I was "DRAMA". It wasn't that the drama was following me per say but I was enabling it by getting involved in it.

I'm now 32(turning 33 in 37 days)and my circle is so tight that air has a hard time seeping through. It took alot of changes, growth and maturity for me to come to this comfortable place. I don't care about what's happening in anyone else's life because mine is NOT perfect.

I don't care about who's having and making babies because I have 2 of my own that need ALL of my attention. I don't care about what furniture you're putting in your house, I don't care about what you drive nor where you work. I'm focused and concerned about ME and MINE~~

I took a while to learn how to incorporate minding my own business into my world but once I got the concept down packed, I've been on the up and up since.

I got no time for fake minds, fake friends, fake relationships etc.. My life is on the up and up. Day #2 of my fast is almost complete and there's a blessing over the horizon and I'm staying focused.

YES, DRAMA does make some people grow but only because they are not satisfied in their own lives. I'm not perfect and neither is my life, but to say there's NO more DRAMA AND mean it Sure feels good...
