Drama Isn’t Happiness
Good relationships are boring.
If you feel like your relationship is “missing something,” maybe it’s drama. And maybe you’re not “missing” it.
Drama isn’t love. Drama isn’t happiness. Drama is a sparkly distraction that fills the void where the emotional connection should be.
And that’s why your relationship crumbles without drama, because there’s nothing at the heart of it. You’re just two people who hang out and do stuff together. Nothing more.
One or both of you are emotionally numb and you keep upping the drama trying to fill an ever deepening hole.
But it’s tinsel, it’s glitter, it sparkles and fades and you’re a shell. A shell who may never realize or accept you’re with someone who isn’t right for you.
Ron Swanson gets it:
“Live your life how you want, but don’t confuse drama with happiness.”
Love isn’t fireworks and butterflies and gleeful giddiness.
DRAMA is fireworks and butterflies and gleeful giddiness.
Drama is when you can turn your feelings for someone on and off like a light switch.
Drama is manipulating someone to get what you want.
