So I'm turning 38 on Tuesday, and you know what? I think I need to make a pledge to eliminate drama from my life. Now I know it's impossible to do that 100%, but certainly by my late 30s I should be able to control who I let disturb my happiness, right? Do you ever feel like other people's nonsense is just dragging you down? I've felt a lot of that lately, and as much to none of it actually has to do with me, I've realized that I let it bother me entirely too much. And you know what else? I think a lot of people have the same problem. It's so easy to get wrapped up in bull. It's easy to get dragged down and caught in the middle. It's easy to let it consume your free time. Drama is like an addictive drug. I don't believe I'm addicted, but I admit it seems to follow me. Why do we do this? Why do we let it in? I've been grappling with that a lot lately as I've been dealing with serious medical issues and life changing decisions as I feebly attempt to accept 38. Who am I kidding? I've just gotten used to 37! Anyway... I'm definitely not a resolution person, but I think I'm going to have to put my foot down because the drama is making me feel like crap.
What have you done to curb the drama? I'd really love to hear your thoughts.
In other birthday news which like this blog, is completely unrelated to photography, the birthday turkey is brining and I'm excited to make my well-loved pumpkin pie! As for cake, well, no plans yet, but who doesn't want cake? I'll make it happen.
Talk next month!
Warmly,
37-year-old Susan (for one more day)
