Alright so I know It's been awhile since I posted anything.So how was Every ones Thanksgiving? Mine was pretty good. you know just the usual family get together. Anyone go black-Friday shopping? I didn't, but then come to think about it I've never actually gone either. Maybe next year. Alrighty then, onto the topic of the day DRAMA! And as usual opening story about me.
Sometimes I wonder if the world just loves to torture me. I have been wanting a cellphone since I was like thirteen, so three years. My parents pretty much have this whole no on everything till I'm out of high school rule. I know stupid right. That's what I thought, but then I got to thinking about it. If I had a cell phone, if I could date, if I could do anything I wanted whenever, what would my life look like?
It would be a mess. That's what.
So I got to thinking about it. I don't have a cell phone and I don't have a boyfriend. My life is pretty much drama free. Right?
Well, no. I still create my own drama, just for the sake of it. We live in a world where all we care about is trying to be the most noticed.
Look around you! Is it really worth it all? The popularity, the cute guys, all the so called "friends"? Over the years I've learned that I will never be able to be one of those popular people you see. Why do we really want to be popular anyways?
Wow, huge bunny trail there. Sorry about that, I was having one of my "what so great about popularity" rants. So back to my original topic. Drama. Dun...dun...dun.
Why do we want to be so dramatic all the time? I mean seriously you laugh loudly and suddenly everyone in the room is looking at you, or you get into an argument with your boyfriend in a public space just so you can have other people feel sorry for you.
Random question does anyone else like to eat popcorn and MnM's or is it just me?
Sorry about that. So what was I talking about? Oh right Drama!!!!! That crazy thing us teenagers enjoy getting involved in. You know no one finds it weird that we get all dramatic, but what if a panda had an argument with tiger and started having a hissy fit in front of everyone? Every one would freak out. But we this generation we live in has become so accustomed to the drama that we don't even freak out about it anymore.
So what should we do about it?
Step 1:Well obviously we need to just take a step back; look at the reasons why we even started the drama. This is like one of those scenes in the movie when the person freezes the screen and starts to evaluate the situation from a different perspective.
Step 2: Think about why you even started the argument, or the fight, or whatever it is. Okay you got it? Is it worth risking a relationship, a friendship, what people might think of you?
Step 3: Make amends! I cannot stress this one enough. You have no idea how many times I wish I had made amends with my mom and sister.
I'm not saying this will work for everyone, but it can help lower the amount of drama you go through every day.Assuming you haven't fallen asleep on my I'm going to give you some of the tips that help me when I am in one those drama creating moods.
Tips: Okay here's some tips that I accumulated and been given over the years.
1. If your having an argument stop, go to the kitchen and grab some ice cubes and hold them until you've calmed down, and if the other person isn't finished being mad at you, offer them some cubes (Don't do that they might get even more mad at you), just keep holding them until their done. Th ice cubes will help draw your mind away from the argument.
2. Hold your tongue. I'm serious you literally hold your tongue. Okay you might look stupid but it works. Come on lets face it you can't say anything you'll regret if you can't speak.
3.Music! When you wake up in the morning and you know your going to have one of those days, listen to calming music. I try to start my day off with music, not only does it help me wake up and not be grumpy and turn into a bear, it changes the way my day goes.
Alright that's about all I have for today. I know it was a tad bit longer than most of my posts, but drama is a big topic. I probably could've gone on for hours about it, but I won't. Be thankful for it. I can also go on for hours about how guys, speedos, and shaving their legs don't mix; but I won't. Another thing to be thankful for. Alright I should really wrap this post up So audios amigos. That's about all the Spanish I know.
Have a great and drama free week everyone! Oh I almost forgot, if you have any tips on how you control your anger and or drama, just comment below. Alrighty then, bye!
