How much “drama” is there in your life?
When our daughter was in middle school, I discovered that it’s far more traumatic than you might imagine—for her that is. There was so much “drama” in middle school. The “he said/she said” creates “issues” for these kids.
Frankly I don’t remember all of this “drama.” But I was more into baseball, fishing, and hunting than relationships back then. It was a different era. We all wanted to wear Levis, I do remember that. And I do recall getting a lecture or two about peer pressure. Maybe that was what sufficed for our drama. Perhaps with us it was about peer pressure.
I read an interview with a 104-year-old woman recently. The reporter asked, “And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?”
The woman simply replied, “No peer pressure.”
Until you’re 104 or so, I guess you’ll have some “drama” or “pressure” to conform to certain social standards. But look, don’t take keeping up with the Joneses too seriously. Focus and filter your life on listening to your life so you can work positive and live positive, okay?
