Oprah Moment! (Friends, Roommates, & Drama)

Ok, so I have not had an Oprah Moment for a hot moment. An Oprah Moment is one of those times to reflect on situations that are going on with your life and the way we deal with them. The following are my thoughts and opinions, these thoughts do not reflect anyone else:

So recently there have been many issues between friends, roommates, and gossip. I have to keep it real and i have to be blunt. When friends become roommates there are issues that will arise naturally and how we deal with those issues is what is important. I share a home with my roommate that is high traffic, we love to entertain and our life is an open book to our friends nothing to hide. We can and will discuss with anyone what happens in our home at our discretion. To discuss the things that happen in our home is not gossip it is truth.

The definition of a friend is depending on the individual. High expectations of people can only lead to disappointment. Just because you as an individual would do certain things for friends do not expect them in return. Not everyone is capable of doing the same things that you may have done for them. It is not a bad thing, it's just the way it is. Sometimes we get hurt by the actions of people without the actions being intentional, it happens and it is inevitable. All we have to do is open the line of communication and talk about your feelings and the expectations of a friend that you have. If a friend can't meet those expectations then you move on or just reevaluate your friendship and consider them going out friends. :) Going out friends are the best!

Drama is part of our lives no matter what. It happens at home, work, school, and between friends. To say you live a drama free life is a false statement. That is a fantasy world that does not exist. There are many levels of drama as there is friendships. We just deal with it and move on.

In conclusion; let's deal with things accordingly and focus on the good of people. It really outweighs the bad and all the other stuff is just life.
