Death of a Drama Queen
There once was a time I ran away from challenging times with a vengeance. I would hunker down in self-pity and drama. Lots of drama! Then I would plow through the perplexing events with blinders on repeating the mantra at break neck speed – “this too shall pass - this too shall pass -this too shall pass.” until they did. But I was a wreck and in the meantime did a nice job at freaking out many of my closest friends and family. Face it, some people major in Drama on and off camera… and I was one of them. Midlife was not fun. Hell set in for about 10 years: Divorce, loss of home, loss of income, custody wars, loss of job, working three jobs at once, friends getting cancer, friends dying of cancer, family members getting cancer, family members dying of cancer including my mom and step dad, son almost dying in a car accident and a long recovery which will never be complete.
