drama: a specific mode of fiction represented in performance.


usually reserved for the likes of Romeo and Juliet, drama used to be a thing you'd see in theaters friday night. now it seems drama has become synonymous to having a conversation. 


i have a girlfriend and she's been tied up in a love-gone-bad relationship for quite a while now. his favorite line of defense for an argument is-"this is drama." Drama? Can that single word successfully sum up and entire emotion? Is it an answer or an aversion? There's nothing dramatic about wanting the truth or looking for some retribution that your work isn't going noticed. 


Conversations have become something of the past. what starts as innocent becomes taken over with emotion and illogical conclusion. insert some screaming and below the belt hits and you've got yourself a healthy dose of "drama". 


how come we can't take well-intentioned conversation for what it is? is it wrong to ask questions in the hopes of an answer? women are made into nagging girlfriends if they just search for some peace of mind. communication, once the most important element to a good relationship, has taken a turn into torture. a couple can't seem to get through the difficult stuff without someone losing it along the way. 


there's no map or GPS to help guide along the good from the bad. but on the road of a relationship, is there ever a set route. or even in that matter, a set destination? being on the outside of this struggle, it makes me thankful that i have someone who can both navigate a map and push forward to the end. even with the bumps in the road, we always seem to end up all buckled and happy in the end.
