Dramacidal Life

People stay in drama because they put themselves in dangerous situations. If you ride solo (like I do), you have no worries. #DramaFree.✊

What's life without drama? Pretty dull you say? I beg to differ. Look around you, there's drama everywhere: In the media, neighborhood, school, workplace, etc. It seems like everywhere you go, there's some drama going on. Either you're involved in drama, know someone who's into it with somebody or witnessing some drama. The crazy thing is that drama sells: Look at these reality shows; drama is a staple because no one would watch if everyone was getting along. I'm going to be real and say I wouldn't watch a reality show if there was no conflict. Why would I? Everyone's on one accord, and as crazy as it may sound, no one wants to see people get along. People want to see drama. This is MY VIEW on drama, and it's going to offend some folks, but I don't care who's slighted: Excluding myself, people who say they're not about drama are the main ones involved in it. Those who aren't about something don't have to voice it every 5 minutes, it shows in their association. They're very careful of their company because many people realize that you are the company you keep. If you hang around dramacidal folks, what do you think others will label you as? Dramacidal. You can be squeaky-clean, but if you hang around messy people, you're messy by default. People stay in drama because they put themselves in dangerous situations. If you ride solo, you have no worries. You can see drama coming from a mile away, and SWERVE. It's funny how drama free folks are labeled boring because they don't involve themselves in mess. If being drama free is boring, I'll embrace boredom with pride. I'm not about that dramacidal life, I'll let other folks have that. 

Am I Wrong For Filing A Claim Against Him?

Strawberry Letter | Steve Harvey in the Morning on WDAS

Most friends loan each other money with the understanding that they will get their money back, or some friends loan each other money and not expect it back because in the lender's eyes, that's his/her friend so they get a pass. This Strawberry Letter is proof of why if someone decides to loan their "friend" money, they should consider it a grant because odds are, (s)he won't get it back, as is the case with this letter. This woman didn't have to loan her friend money, but she did it because he was in need. Now this jerkoff shows his behind and talks junk to her like "forget you, I'm not giving you nothing" She flipped the script on this joker and decides to take him to court, and now he gets in his feelings. He should've thought about that before he decided to flex on his friend. Newsflash bro: At that time, you needed her more than she needed you. She didn't have to give you the $600, but she did it because y'all were tight. All he had to do was pay her back, and there would be no need for a claim. Or if he couldn't pay at once, he should've agreed to $150 a month for 4 months.

Because she filed a claim for her $600, this COULD damage their friendship. Money usually does that, especially if one friend owes the other. This is why unless you and someone are really close, it's best not to loan money because you may not get it back; I'm just being honest. You want to help your friends (and you should) because by default, you think highly of them and understand they'll appreciate the gesture, but sadly, some so-called friends will react just like this guy did to her. She has every right to be hurt, but she has to reconsider her friendship with him. If he pulled this, there's no telling how he could try her. To go Biblical, don't give the devil any inch in your life because he will go all the way. Stick to your guns ma'am, and get your money by any means necessary. If this damages your friendship with him, tough nuggets. He brought this on himself, so he should be mad at himself for showing his behind. Knowing how I am, I probably would've said: I've been waiting for too long, I'm out of patience. If you don't have my money, I'm gonna mask up and take it.
