I blame the movies
The books
The Netflix dramas
That go on and on
The highs and the lows
That drive the story
And us
To believe that life is supposed to be lived like an amusement park ride
When really
Reality is calm
It is quiet
The sound of a leaf dropping
Birdsong
And the oscillating fan
The rest
The rest is all just in our head
*I know that this isn’t strictly true – life does get hectic sometimes but we also make it more full of drama by living in memory, diving ahead and worrying about the future
Anxiety
Cortisol
Drama addiction/affliction
We become so used to the toxic energy that comes from drama and drama thinking that reality almost feels staid
Numb
But actually it’s peaceful
Once we stop making up stories about it
