'You must dare to disassociate yourself from those who would delay your journey... Leave, depart, if not physically, then mentally. Go your own way, quietly, undramatically, and venture toward trueness at last.'
-Vernon Howard
'You are'
'No, you are'
'YOU are!'
'YOU!!!'
Tears roll, arms flail...kicking, screaming, and everyone looks around for their mommy and daddy in this seemingly beloved kindergarden world of drama. It's the world they live in, the World they know, the world it's so scary to move away from.
Now why do people revel in so much drama? If you study these lives you'll see, without much effort, these people's lives are otherwise bland. They lack talent, the brains, wits, or charisma. What option do some people have other than reccur to a childhood defense mechanism, that of accusations, to feel back in the comfort of daddy's arms.
The more we decide to look at this as comfort the more we'll continue to grow backwards while our hearts age prematurely until we stunt our growth with the poking of our very own eyes.
Instead of blaming someone, open your eyes to see what you're contributing to this pathetic performance sometimes worthy of an Oscar. STOP doing it. Swat it like a fly, get it out of the way, and move on.
By seeing your part in the problem and quitting this possibly 'award winning movie role' we'll be able to grow up while our hearts and souls stay young.
Lesson learned: If drama is the way to be in the spotlight I'd rather stay behind the curtains.

We expect drama from children. But at what age should a person grow up and out of drama? It depends on who you ask.
And at what age should someone be emotionally strong? Confident? Courteous? Compassionate?
We all move forward at different paces, and that's OK. And we've all been drama queens at some point; hopefully everyone in our social circle didn't give up on us.
Dramatic or not, we are all equal in value. Yet we paradoxically have the potential to become an improved version of ourselves.
Seeing our interconnectedness, instead of our disparities, can inspire patience until we observe and applaud the growth in others.
