People who know their own strength don't hurt other people. It's the folks that have no

I think the best way to deal with drama is to walk away from it. What I still need to learn though is how to find truly burning passion without it :)

Kira, I appreciate this post so much. I have always been one for avoiding the drama, but when it happened all around me, I didn't not get sucked in so much as I reverted to the self doubt, second guessing, and lack of self trust that you describe above. I have learned a hell of a lot from all of this experience, but what a high cost. In any case, your words have been inspiring.

The best maturation/life lessons/soul development I've had came from the worst thing that happened to me. I spent three years in the refiner's fire, and the dross burned away. That particular path of development isn't one that I'd wish on anyone, and I hope that it goes differently for you. However: if your situation comes to anything like mine did, I suspect you'll be an (even more) amazing person at the end of the process. I don't know the details, despite my houseguest, but I can guess -- and I'm thinking of you a lot lately. Let me know if I can help.
