I don't need to watch those cheesy talk shows to get a piece of what drama is like. All I have to do is look at my own life!!

I've come to the conclusion that my entire life to this point has been part of a dramatic theater show. If there's something to happen, ususally bad, it will happen to me. I'm not bitter about it anymore, but I used to be. I'm sure you've got drama in your life too. But the key question to ask is, "How do I deal with it?" Do you just sit back and take it? Or do you actively fight it?

For a long time, I sat back and took it, fervently hoping that it would all go away. It wasn't until the last couple of years that I realized that drama (if personified would definitely be a woman, that bitch! -_-) was a staple part of my lifestyle. If it wasn't daily school drama, it was relationship drama. . .or it was friendship drama. One way or another, it was something.

It's so easy to get caught up in the fiasco of everything. In my case, I tried as hard as possible to make everyone in the drama happy, but that was me being dreamy again. It wasn't going to happen, and such unrealistic outlooks on life were only going to get me further hurt. That sad but true fact hit home to me one day.

And it was the day I opened my eyes for the first time.

How narrow-minded I was to think that this drama was only impacting me. Drama impacts all its players, even the ones you may thing insignificant, or just the watchers. With you as its star, YOU make or break the destiny of that show. And when that stops, no one really knows.

How do you get control over something that doesn't want to be controlled? One word: negotiation. With a combination of good decisionmaking and good foresight, it can be something you have one-up on. It's hard to explain, but when you grab the reins of the runaway horse named Drama, you gain control of something much more important than just a set of events clashing in your life. You hold the reins of fate.

Don't believe in fate? Well, I do. I believe that things all have a purpose, that there's a greater design for the world being the way it is. We may not see the full effect of it, and perhaps drama is just the mechanism to make this all come to fruition.

Or I may just be speculative again. . .
