However it may begin, drama always ends up nasty. It could start off as simple as a a roommate disagreeing with the other’s cleanliness, or being as terrible as a partner who is not loyal. I for one, try to avoid drama at all costs, because I believe that it is not worth the stress or the time. Of course, at times, it is completely unavoidable, but most times, it is.
Having a drama contaminated life can drown you. But, maybe, you are swallowing yourself, and by doing so, you can bring other people down with you. Is it worth it? Many times, drama begins between friends, and even groups of friends. Now here, I want you to think about your friendships, and how they effect your life. Peas in a pod, laughing, and enjoying every moment with each other; think about what is going to be lost between the friends once the drama becomes overpowering. Would you rather have this disagreement tear apart your friend group, or would you rather look past it and continue with the laughing and enjoying every living moment with each other? Just think about it. Is the drama really worth losing those fun times and a best friend and much more?
Drama in a friend group is excruciating. In that group, you have the people who genuinely have the disagreement, the side choosers, and the people who want nothing to do with the disagreement. Most people would believe that the people who want nothing to do with the disagreement are not effected at all, but in reality, its like just like secondhand smoking. The person who wants nothing to do with the disagreement is not even smoking, but they are still being effected negatively. They can gasp for fresh air, but the secondhand smoke is too overpowering. Being the person who does not want to be involved is actually involved, they watch from afar, as they see their friend group being ripped to shreds. They do not want to choose sides, because they love everyone too much to hurt anyone. They are asked by each party for their option, and they want to be supportive, but can’t be, because, they clearly see that it is not worth it. It is not worth losing the friendships that they have molded. It is not worth the continuous stress and hatred. It is simply: not worth it.
Drama between friends is an excruciating experience. Even though you do not think that everyone is effected, everyone is effected, especially those who watch from afar. They see everything that is going on, and there is nothing they can do to end it without opening a wound for theirselves. Before you become involved in drama, or shortly after the drama has begun, just think to yourself: is it really worth it?
