I'll Leave the Drama for the Celebs

I'm a recovering drama queen.

But now that I'm a bit older and wiser and semi-settled, life has really calmed down tremendously. But, I'm just going to have to call some people out and relinquish my non-judgmental tone for the blog. I'm wondering, what is wrong with people? I want a wear a sign that says "Do NOT Cross this Line!"... Frankly, I'm tired of being around the drama-filled masses. Why do everyday people take their cues on life from dysfunctional celebs? Have you noticed how much drama you've seen amidst people in your lives everyday? I think its the reality TV or maybe its just that people every where are getting in touch with their emotions. Men. Women. Children. Computers. IPods. It's like the hyperemotional revolution around here. I can't breathe I see so much expression and thats abnormal for me because I am expressive. But what I'm noticing is that the more emotion I see expressed everyday, the less long-term commitment. The long-term commitment people step into for the long haul is essentially a long-term investment in themselves. Which means one thing, they can afford to get emotionally and physically hyper because they took a long term investment in self and no investment in anything or anyone else.

Make no mistake, its important to invest in self, but its even more important to be good to self AND be good to others. IF I were to date right now, that would be important. IF I were to make a new friend, that would be critical. Because what I see is a lot of people acting as if they just wrote a best-selling novel, finished a top-grossing movie and reality TV show, and did two tapings with Oprah - The world revolves around them (no wonder our environment, economy, and healthcare is substandard). If it doesn't have to do with them, they don't want to deal with it.

I just want to say tonight, the world doesn't revolve around me because I'm single. People ASSume I think the world revolves around me because I don't have a mate, I don't have kids, I don't have a dog. They think I'm selfish and self-absorbed because I'm just me. I'm just here enjoying my life. Don't belittle my life because I'm making the choice to be all that I can be before I make a commitment to another person. So, beware, the world doesn't revolve around me because I'm single. Because I'm single, I revolve around the world doing my best to make sure that I leave this place a little better than I found it. And I challenge the rest of you to make the same commitment! Leave the Drama on TV where it belongs.
