Gossip.I find myself wondering why we love it so much?I mean,it is such a cheapening activity like why would princes and princesses want to lower their standards by wasting precious time to bad mouthing a fellow royalty?Well, i had my fair share of being the target of gossip for a whole three years of what was meant to be my most fun moments.I don't know why my schoolmates;most of them,hated me with such a passion but they did and they made life for me hell on earth but i survived.Thanks to my heavenly Father.Oh don't be fooled,i was a drowning man clutching at a straw and whoever said words couldn't kill maybe he was right but they sure can lead you to kill...even yourself.So,after high school i decided you would have to be pretty mega creative for you to bring me down with words because i heard the worst case scenario in high school but you are very much welcomed to try...
There's this song by Keri that i wish was released back in the days because it would have been a dedication...don't hate me coz i'm beautiful.Like seriously,it's not like it is my fault and now i know better and no i am not apologetic for the way I was awesomely created and neither should you and if anyone has a problem,ask them to pick it up with God!I;m just saying.
So,where is all these coming from?Well,i work and where i work there are other businesses around and i ended up having a scuffle with one of my neighbors.The details of the scuffle are not juicy enough to be printed but oh my,haven't i become the talk of say four five grown ups?Woah,and I know,I am born again.forgiveness.Love.Doesn't mean though that I have to associate with people who are not adding anything positive to my life now does it?I doubt.I'm not mad at them,I only know better than to associate with them.So,they were the inspiration but this is not about them.This is about gossip and why we love it.
I remember complaining to my sister about all the gossip and you know what she told me?Get used to it.This is just the tip of the ice berg.There's still more to come.She also told me that when you act affected,you make it even more interesting for rumor mongers.Her antidote,walk with your head held high and say hi when you meet them on the streets like you just don't care because you really don't.Ok,so let's say what they are saying is true,so what?If you go cry and whatever it won't change the facts.Ok,i get it.It isn't the kind of stuff you would be proud to have Oprah interview you on but hey,what the heck.Who is perfect anyway and who is it that does not have hidden skeletons in the closet?What if it's not true?Now this is the time to bring out your diva attitude!And be the best diva you can be while at it.
Truth of the matter is that people will always talk.Sad as it is,there is a select group that is very comfortable acting cheaply so the best we can do for them is pray that they will one day see the light and realize just how so much more they are worth but until that day happens,let them be.Do not bother them and do not let them bother you.I'm just saying.
You see people who gossip,one,don't have anything much to do with their time.Second,there is something about you that just amazes them and since they can't be you and they are not brave enough to tell you what amazing legs you have,they will start trashing your short skirts dressing.Why would you want to be bothered with someone else insecurities?Don't you have enough of your own?People who sit down to trash another are people who are cowards and live in dream land.I mean,look at the list of people you have ever bad mouthed and you will notice a certain trend.There is always a hint of jealousy there,whether you admit it or not.And,is your life so boring and your victim's life so much more interesting that you would take time out of your day to talk about them?I mean,you couldn't be talking about something boring that much now could you?Maybe I just come from a different school of thought but I don't see how you would find me talking on end about something that is boring to me?
Anyway,gossip is here to stay because it seems we will always have insecure,cowardly people so you better learn to deal with it.And dealing with it is by not caring about what others say because at the end of the day,like earlier said,man is to err.So live life to the fullest.Enjoy yourself and have fun.If something terrible happens,just go like,oops!and move on.
Lovely day y'all.
