Do Not Leave Conversations Open For Interpretation

This piece is probably that comes from a very deep place in my heart. Recently I have experienced something that I haven't experienced since high school. Drama to be more specifically drama with friends. To me it is very important to have a life drama free, the reason behind his is because we already have to deal with so much stress in our lives with school and work. I believe there is no need to add any drama that may come from a very negative place or from a place that should be drama free. I am a person who does not have many friends another reason that brings me to the word drama once again.

Don't get me wrong I have a handful of friends but they are people who think just like I do. They believe life is better without drama, they believe anyone who thrives off of drama is someone who should not be dealt with rather just let go. Having friendships should be something that all of us should love, friends should be the ones you go to de-stress, those people you go to have a good time, but with this society and this generation sadly that is beside the point.

This generation has settled with having friends through social media and really assuming that language and understanding the way we put words in texts messages is alright. We assume that by reading someone's words we know what they sound like. When a friend sends a text message it is opened to interpretation, which this takes a lot of friendships to the group. One side may think a comment or a text message is misinterpreted but in reality, there was no malicious intent behind it.

This makes me think what is conversations weren't so text-based what a difference this world would be. How many broken friendships would still be intact? How many relationships would still linger? People get so offended when they think they are reading someone's text messages but in context, they are listening that voice in their head making tricks. This is why when it comes to things like this we cannot let technology and social media get in between friend's ships. When you have a problem with someone it is better for you to talk about it in person versus you believing what your brain wants you to believe.

You always need to remember words are just words if you are just reading them through a blue screen. If you do not have the person right in front of you talking it does not really mean anything. The individual may have meant something in a certain way but you may think about it a different way. Things are not always as they think, if you have any doubts call your friend or ask them to speak in person do not anything up for interpretation. This is the way a lot of friendships end, it is better to be clear than believing what your brain wants you to believe.
