I used to think there were just dramatic days. You know, those days when you have some crazy run-in with a store manager, have a work kerfuffle, a scheduling conflict, and find yourself running late for your 5th appointment of the day and short on caffeine.
Except now that I'm living life in the real world (AKA, I'm an adult who doesn't exist in a bubble), I'm discovering that pretty much every day has a significant amount of drama. Because humans.
Humans are crazy, I tell you! And I have first-hand experience since I, too, am human. Humans trying to coordinate with one another makes for some pretty dramatic moments. Goodness, grocery shopping can become quite the drama! Not to mention money, which I'm finding is quite a pesky nuisance, especially when it comes to earning enough of it in a relatively short period of time (like, when rent and car insurance and utilities are all due at once, oh and then there is tuition due. Oops.).
I'm also realizing that a whole lot of what's out there passing as 'sophisticated' is just a sham. It's really just people who are awesome at faking it, making a fancy design and throwing together some serious wordsmithing (Starbucks, anyone?).
Also, selfies? Nobody looks that good. Makeup and filters, that's where it's at. We're all just little bitty drama queens with phones. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I mean, we might as well share our dramatic lives with some other crazy humans, right?
Because all of us have plenty of drama from day-to-day, and so we can look around and smile to ourselves and remember that hey, that guy in his fancy car, that lady who looks so classy, they're just faking their way through the drama too.
Enjoy the ride!
