If you are in my friend group or know of what goes on well enough, then you know there's drama. Now this post is not to throw anyone's names to shame or discuss what drama. But drama, I've decided it's almost essential to graduating high school. Honestly, it's stressful, it's treacherous, it's harmful, it seems nothing good comes of it, and we all encounter it. And here's the big shock: NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, LIFE GOES ON AND SO DO PEOPLE. In other words, no matter how horrible one moment or one person might seem, the more time you spend dwelling on it, the longer it exists. The moment you cease to acknowledge it is likewise the moment you begin to go on and stop letting it affect you.
Far too many times, I've seen people do the whole "go out with a bang" some grand final, usually mean-spirited, note to end with. And hell, I have made that mistake countless times too. And where was the benefit? Oh, right. There was none. When you walk away from the mess, do it with grace. Keep your dignity and don't stoop to someone else's levels. Hold your head high, smile, and kill them with your kindness.
