INTRODUCTION
Please, I request your undivided attention during all three posts. It is not without humor, and not without a point. Enjoy.
Drama is many things to many different people.
To some, it is that last lap of the one mile run that they must complete, an obstacle to overcome.
Others live off of it, needing it more than that last few minutes of study time before a big test they totally blew off, that pay raise for those cute new shoes they've ALWAYS wanted that would look SO good with that one outfit.
A few try to deny it exists in its little flames that engulf every new uncomfortable situation, desperately attempting to snuff out the fire before it spreads and grows in force, burning and scarring their life.
In reality, Drama is something we all experience at one time or another. All of us have probably experienced it yesterday, today, and it might just be lurking around the corner for tomorrow. Drama is part of our past, and our present, and I can assure you with utmost certainty that it will be part of our future as well.

WHAT DRAMA IS ALL ABOUT HOWEVER, THERE IS A HAPPY NOTE TO ALL OF THIS.
The thing is, Drama is a very important part of every person's life. It excites us, gives us something to talk about, and, among other things, does something even more:
teaches us life lessons that we can later apply to further or better ourselves.
In the words of Wikipedia, which is to say, in the words of a trusted yet rather unreliable source, "Drama has a holistic way of teaching people."
This can be accepted as true.
For example, say you go to a minimart to grab your favorite dish. While there, another woman/man runs into you.
Let's also say you are not having a good day. You have just been fired from your job, your significant other has left you, and your cat/ dearly beloved pet just died. Whatever the reason, you are simply not in the mood for pushy people.
And the person didn't even apologize. Instead, they acted like it was your fault.
Being in a heightened state of emotional distress, you grab hold of them, determined to "lay down the law" on who really created the problem.
Jeez, the nerve of them. Even while sitting in the police station with a black eye and a split lip you still can't believe it.
This, my good people, is Drama. And, this situation also taught you a lesson.
It taught you that even though you're having a bad day, it can always get worse if you walk around with a negative attitude. So, you walk out of the police station, however sourly, vowing to let things bother you less the next time around. And you do just that.
A lesson. No more, no less, and one that had to be learned eventually.
And, what's this? Drama got you there.

EXACTLY AS STATED ABOVE The point of this thread is to give every one in the guild a place to come and talk about old Drama issues. Things that made them angry, did make them angry, still are making them angry, and the lesson that they can learn from whatever happened.
It is also a place where people can come and discuss drama and get advice towards the resolution of the dramatic event they find plaguing their life at this very moment.
Perhaps you can draw your own conclusions just talking about the drama you experienced and devise your own lesson.
All in all, the goal here is for you to get the drama that isn't save for your mama off your chest and to make you feel better.
And, if you need help finding your own lesson in all the issues without tissues, those who find themselves dramatically challenged can feel free to help us confused few who need help finding a lesson in all the unsolved events.
PLEASE:
Follow ToS
Have Fun
Show some Respect.
Oh no, you DID NOT!!!!

I might as well start, I guess.
I have a best friend whom I haven't seen in ages. We finally got back in touch a little while ago, and I spent the night at her home. The only problem is that she has a brother.
This brother has had a crush on me before, but I thought that due to my being away from his sister for so long and not seeing him, this crush would go away. This would be for the best, as I do not like him in that way at all. He's only a friend. And....
I HAVE A BOYFRIEND, WHOM I LOVE AND ADORE.
But he likes me again, despite the fact that he knows I have a boyfriend I love and adore. He doesn't care.
He keeps texting and calling, wanting to do stuff with me alone and all that. Hanging out, and such. It wouldn't be a big deal, if I knew it was only because we are good friends and all. But it's more than that, and I can sense it, and he doesn't hide that fact.
He wants to ask me out, and I don't have the heart to tell him I'm going to say no because I love my boyfriend, because it will break his heart. So, in a way I guess you could say I am unintentionally leading him on, as his hopes are up that I will break up with my boyfriend for him, and he thinks I like him. I do like him, but it's only a friend like.
And now I feel even worse because his hopes keep rising, and I know that the more I put off telling him I don't like him, the more it will hurt later when I am finally forced to put an end to this.
And his sister will hate me for breaking his heart. And her parents will blame me. And his best friend might get involved, which is the last thing I want. The very last thing.
And if I go with him to keep my friend, I'll only lose her later when we break up, and still hurt him, and it would destroy my boyfriend ifI broke up with him and send him into a depression. Plus, I would be unhappy if I broke up with him, and my other best friends would hate me for breaking up with my boyfriend.
It's a screwed if you do, screwed if you don't situation, and I'm going to have to make a choice sooner or later.
I guess I just lost an old best friend, because I'm afraid my happiness and my boyfriend's have to come first.
Lesson: When you have to say something to someone, say it as soon as possible. Put it out there, because it will hurt whoever's involved so much more when you're finally forced to say it.
