Ten years back I was a mean, miserable person and a tad bit snobby as well as judgmental. I can still be snobby at times, but overall in the past three years or more I have worked my butt off to be who I am today; strong, confident and pretty clear on the person I want to keep myself being. Then it hits me, rumors, mean people, drama, etc and I wonder how to make it through various situations. I am super strong, some people look at me as a sweet, innocent person but really I can be quite evil if the right situation calls for it. I am also super strong because no matter what another person says about me or to me that is negative, I can smile and move on because I know in my heart who I am as a person, mother and friend.
I don’t believe in stooping to the level of those who like to create drama and miserable people in their life. I feel that one who has to constantly create drama in their life must be hurting deep inside for some reason or just be a plain miserable person. I don’t have to try to hard to understand those type of people because I used to be that type of person. The one who was miserable with herself, didn’t have a good self esteem and at times got on her high horse thinking that I did no wrong.
Reality is we are all human, we all make mistakes but what is unacceptable to me is bringing children into an adults drama. I am sorry but that is not okay to me, I know I try not to judge another person for their parenting ways nor do I wish to tell another parent what to do with their children but my heart does break when I see parents teaching their children to be the same dramatic, miserable person that they are. I guess that is why I made the decision to be the positive Ms Brandy everyone knows, to follow my heart always and never look back … because that is what I wish for my children … I wish for my children and all your children to be able to focus on today, hope for the future and let go of the past so that they too can live a happy, positive life!
What do you wish for the children of the world? Including your own?
So very true about not dragging your children into any drama. Thats why the expression goes, “Save the Drama for your Mama”
Ha ha! Forgot about that saying!!
Ugh. Brandy, I am sorry you have to go through this. I am going through something similar. I have worked very hard to be who I am. And people are constantly dragging kids into petty drama. *sigh* I am taking the high road though and refuse to indulge in it.
I wish for my kids to grow up knowing that I love them more than anything and that, while it may not always have made sense to other people, I have done and will always do my very best to the mom that they need and can look up too. I wish for my kids to learn to be themselves and not try to be something they aren’t for other’s benefits
