Mellow Drama


I recently went on a wild trip when I decided that I'm going to live out as many days as possible on the coins and cash I've got till I ran out. So yeah, I did this for a stupid while. I even converted Euros into pounds just to stretch this silly game. 

I lasted  quite a few days, strangely. I avoided all eye contact with people who thought I was bonkers ( I didn't look like I was going to inflict coins on the poor cashier behind the counter.) I kind of realised I was doing a silly thing, but funnily, I felt quite thrilled about it all.

And that's when I realised that I was just trying to inflict some drama in my life. It doesn't matter what the drama is, but I wanted something to spice things up.

What's the drama that you're addicted to? I'm beginning to think we all are, and its a matter of chemical manipulation that all of us human beings do just to feel "alive".. and also weirdly, in control. 

And hell yes, if you didnt know that, well, hope this wakes you up. Choose your drama, make it benign, or better still, something that will genuinely help your health, wealth or relationships. Dont choose drama that sabotages you, just so that your addiction to having some drama makes you feel like you are in charge. 

Choose a mellow drama.
