When your life starts looking like a scene from a movie…..
Get out.
Run.
Run as far and as fast as you can from that situation.
Ok, in all seriousness.
Dramaholics – mwajijua! (You know yourselves)
The guy who smashes all the plates in your house when he gets angry? Na bado you are with him?
The guy who is so jealous he vets all your facebook friends? (‘No, that one is too handsome. Delete!’)
The girlfriend who shrieks at you like a banshee because you forgot your 10th month anniversary.
Hmm.
To varying degrees, drama excites us.
We thrive on it.
It’s what makes for good T.V and good movies.
But in real life, well.
Its a different story.
Because none of those dramatics actually end well.
The smashing of plates will escalate into smashing your face in.
The jealous boyfriend will start stalking you, or he will smash handsome-facebook-friend’s teeth in.
The clingy girlfriend will…..drive you insane.
Drama is what makes life fun.
But too much of it as with anything can be…well, too much.
I had a boyfriend with whom I never, ever had fights with.
Never. Ever.
He was always cool as a the ocean’s breeze.
Unflappable.
To my insanity, he would just smile affably, and let my anger deflate.
Grrr.
It drove me nuts.
I wanted drama! Arguments. Plate smashing. Passion.
Lol.
Women!
We think we know what we want. But it is seldom good for us.
What you see in the movies….is not real.
Rihanna and her issues (Love the way You Lie) should not be defining how people see relationships.
A stable, healthy relationship doesn’t have smashed plates in it. Or for that matter, burning houses.
Happy Martin Luther King Day y’all
