No More Drama

Today started out as a wonderful day. It's very chilly in DC today. The high was only 27 and the wind chill was 15. Brrr!! The weather did not deter me from handling my weekend business. I went to Eastern Market to get my meat. I finished my grocery shopping for the week. I was in a great mood. Cooking lunch for myself when I get a text message from a friend.

I went to Jamaica with 4 other women in December. The island is beautiful. The people are warm and sweet, the food is delicious and the water is so clear you can see straight to the bottom. It would have been very relaxing, but one of the females (my texting friend) decided to be extremely disrespectful to the locals. At one point, she was downright rude to me. I try to be a peace loving person. So when I am irritated, I typically just walk away and deal with all my emotions internally. Not any more. I have decided to add speaking my mind as a part of the changes I need to make in 2010.

This female sends me a text message asking me to remove what she considered unflattering pictures of her from our Jamaica trip from my Facebook page. The pictures were fine, and included other people who were on the trip, so I said I wouldn't remove them because she looked perfectly fine. This heffer had the nerve to say that she had numerous unflattering pics of me, and she had refrained from putting them up, but would upload the pictures if I didn't take her pics down. At first, I was like, she has unflattering pictures of me up on her Facebook page now, and I don't really care. She kept going on and said she would remove the unflattering pics. Wanting to finish cooking my lunch, I told her I would take the pics down as soon as I was done.

As I was making my turkey tacos, I thought about it. How dare her start stressing me about some damn pictures and threaten to put up unflattering pics of me if I didn't comply. What kind of friend is that? I got more and more irritated the longer I thought about it. Instead of holding my emotions in like I normally would do, I deleted all of her pics and any pic she was in on my Facebook page, and I sent her text message telling her how dare she mess up my good day with some blackmailing, junior high, mean girl, nonsense. This woman is 31 years old and works a professional job. Are you kidding me? She is going to go through people's websites and decide what can be shown and threaten people into compliance. Can she really be that self absorbed? I guess the answer is yes. 

I told her to stay away from me for awhile because I don't have patience or tolerance for such nonsense and she had irritated the devil out of me. She's neurotic, and she can't figure out why she can never keep a man. No man wants a crazy self absorbed woman.

Crazy people are everywhere. No matter what city you live in, you will always find one. It's all about how you deal with them. No more will I bite my tongue out of fear of hurting someone's feelings. People don't care if they hurt my feelings. Why should I care if I hurt theirs? I have had enough. I am truly going to be a healthy person, I have to be healthy in body, mind and spirit.  I have to let toxic people go. 

DC is a big city. I make new friends all the time. She is definitely replaceable.

I feel like I am getting a cold.  My throat is sore. My body aches. I better not be getting the flu. I haven't had the flu in years. I am going to try to rest the remainder of the weekend. I have new adventures planned for next week. I am going to open mic night on Tuesday and they have a drag show next Saturday. I can't wait. I have to get healthy first.

Time for rest!
