When Drama Crowns a Queen

You have watched the drama unfold, right there via social media, for the world to see. Part of you wonders if you should make popcorn and just read every comment. Then part of you wonders why someone would drag out such personal moments in a forum for everyone to see. Yes, we have all been there at one point and posted something dramatic about our life because we want everyone to know. Typically, we grow up and realize that is just creating more damage and making us look like the fool. Yet somehow there is always that one person who no matter what grabs her crown and lets the drama unfold.

I will never say I have not done it, but I can say I have learned from posting all the drama to everyone but your momma. It never really works out the way you had planned in your head and often backfires on you. Allowing your crown to slip and well now you are a hot mess drama queen. While I sit back and read these outrageous posts. Could I be feeding into the Drama Queen culture? I suppose only if I comment does that mean I am partaking in the mess? Then I realize that there are ones on the receiving end of the words being spoken who did not ask for such behavior. One thing I have learned is that there are consequences and reactions to hurtful words spoken or typed. Sure, you think you have the upper hand being the first to post, the first to spill tea or even the first to call them names. Yet, if you I have ever been on the receiving end of the words you will maybe rethink putting that Drama Queen crown on.

At some point we must grow up, grow within, and realize that is and was not the way to handle a situation no matter how much it hurt you. Things are going to happen and there are always three sides to a story. So, before you done that crown and become a keyboard warrior, stop, think, and walk away from social media. I can tell you that no one looks at the crowned queen of drama and thinks wow I want to be like her. Many of us shake our head and hope you will stop your tirade and just let it be. If we all stopped engaging in the drama queen posts maybe they would tire of the lack of response and not continue to display personal issues for the world to judge. I personally have discovered the unfriend button and realized I do not need that negativity in my life. I also have compassion and reach out to the ones being attacked letting them know not everyone thinks the things that are being said. Because we are still human and sometimes it makes it sting less when they realize the entire world is not attacking them on social media.

This is not to say when a moment happens that riels you up that you simply turn cheek. However, it is saying that maybe you should handle it like an adult and keep it within the family. Because I can tell attest to this, that the drama queen typically has done some things that created the mess she is unfolding and has not yet accepted. I suppose I can only hope that others will realize that sparkly crown you get to put on when the drama unfolds is not as flattering as you think. It surely does not back up your ideas of comparison and judgement. In fact, it makes you more undesirable as a person that others want to be around. So, take a breather, step away from the keyboard, and think of a better way to resolve the issue.
