The Ellie Letters: Ever notice that Drama and Devil both have 5 letters and start with the letter "D"?

Once again, you have stuck me in the middle of drama.

Wasn't that one of the reasons I left high school in the first place?

Although, I have to be honest. High school drama is annoying, but it's not completely terrible. At least when people are annoying you with their drama you can tell them off. So what if there's a risk of getting beaten up? It's an excuse to give them the knock in the head they deserve (all in the name of "self-defense" of course.)

And I don't think my parents would have minded too much if I gave some people from school the knock in the head they deserved...

You know what the problem with drama is?

The problem is that people don't seem to outgrow it. I'm not just talking about 18, 19, 20 year olds (although, that is an issue in itself).

I'm talking about the people who seem to hold onto grudges after about fifteen years. People like you.

I've been in the middle of this kind of drama before. I don't know why they had such a problem with her (although I can see some reason as to why they have a problem with me).

I do know why you have a problem with him though, and I don't need to be in the middle of this. He made a choice.

You think that choice ruined the family. That we're not the "perfect" family you expect us to be. I don't believe what you want me to believe...and it's his fault. They don't share those beliefs with you. He is the one to blame.

It was my choice.

I don't care that I was only five. I was given a choice, and I made it. Nobody made the decision for me. I knew what was right and I stuck with it. I was given a choice again when I was twelve. The choice I made when I was five was the choice I made again as a preteen.

I'm never going to believe what you believe.

I don't care that your friend constantly reminded me that her family didn't share those beliefs at one point. Do you think that's going to make me change? I don't think so! I'm eighteen. If I was old enough to make my own choices about this thirteen years ago, I sure as heck can make up my mind now!

He didn't ruin anything by that choice.

My life isn't over because of my decsion.

And honestly, if you think he's the problem, then keep me out of this.

I don't need this drama anymore.


Say 'no' to drama
Say 'no' to drama
Say 'no' to drama..

Credit to the title and song at the end both go to Pmat of course.
