So issues.. we all have them.. in one form or another right.. some are well; rather obvious while other still are lying deep within us very dormant and quiet like.  They stay there until an event or experience triggers them and then you have this ‘thing’ you aren’t quite sure what to do with; so you keep tracking along until a solution appears… or does it?

I’ve recently discovered several of my own that some were somewhat known to me but i thought i had a handle on them while others were deep-set and didn’t surface until something recent triggered them.  Now most of them are easily handleable, however they’ve come at a time when I would really rather them just have stayed where they were until I would have been in different circumstances on my support level and closer proximity to it.  I have lots of ‘avenues’ of support and encouragement, however it isn’t really close to me so I have to communicate via the internet to get that support which in some cases, the persons I’m talking with are halfway around the world and in other time zones.  Make it difficult to keep regular hours for conversing.  But these are those that have lent me a piece of their hearts as I have to them.. and we have bonded in ways that I never have with those I grew up with… go figure that one out.

Of course I also have met up with those that choose to believe certain things about me and have made me out to be this horrid person that I am also dealing with; which I detest since I am not the type of person they have set me out to be.  I only hope is that time will uncover and reveal to them that I am indeed a good and decent person and their original assessment and judgement of me is alas, incorrect and they have misjudged me completely and that some form of camaraderie can be re-established once again, mind you we don’t have to be the best of buddies or anything, but a decent conversing relationship would be preferred.

Now I am doing my best to work through and move on from these new or resurfaced issues that have come up in my life.. so my hope is.. that you to, whom ever you are, can do the same.. with or without help… do what you must to resolve your individual issues and get on with your life.

Life Drama vs. Dramatic Life…

ok, so here is the kunundrum…life that has become one big drama after another that is perpetrated by the one living it; verses having a life that is for the most part, normal by most standards with the occasional dramatic situation coloring one’s experience.

I personally prefer the latter; see, it to me adds a lil bit of spice to what would normally be somewhat plain and unexciting.  For some, however, seem to need the draw and pull of something a lil more over-exaggerated and over-the-top to feel alive and thriving.  I haven’t been able to figure out what the common thread is for those people; but I hope to soon.

So first, lets look to the first scenario shall we; namely “Life Drama“.  When you find that your life has become one big drama after the other; why not step back a lil and examine why it has?  Maybe you can figure out what you can do to lessen the frequency with which it tends to happen, or just not give certain situations as much power or influence as they seem to have over your overall life.  Decide to let the seemingly littler things go quicker so that they don’t take on a life of their own and overshadow your life as a whole.  This would be my recommendation to those who have a constant roll of drama after drama on a daily basis and feel empty when one isn’t in play at the moment.

Now, we’ll gander into the second one, namely “Dramatic Life“. This is the one I personally prefer.  See, this one allows most to have the life that most prefer, but adds that lil element that pushes us to occasionally step out of our personal comfort zone, experience something new, learn from it, and grow from it and then let us step back into our normal path with a lil extra something that we didn’t have before so that when we continue down our life path, we have more parameters than before to help us make wiser decisions and also to help others in similar situations.  A way, so-to-speak, to discard the ‘blinders’ and walk around with total sight.  To me, that sounds much better then living in a self-contained, overly-dramatic soap-opera lifestyle that drags us in every chance it gets and doesn’t allow us to see what’s goin’ on around us as much as we should or would want to if we were to be able to even have a taste of that experience for ourselves.

So…you all tell me; which would you rather have?  Life Drama, or a Dramatic Life… you choose; comment on the post and tell me what you think ok! Ciao for now!

Just my two cents…now go and make it into nickels and dimes of your own!
