Soap Operas

Anyone who has watched soap operas for any length of time knows that the best way for an actor to have success is to continually be wrapped into very dramatic story-lines. Sure, people say they hope for happily-ever-after, but in soap opera land, that really doesn't draw viewers. The more terrible the storyline, the better.

My question is, how did my life turn into a soap opera.

Honestly, I'd prefer a little happily ever after at this point. All I've got is dramatic story line after dramatic story line. Hell, I've even got dramatic sub-plots going on. Sheesh.

The baby, or the bathwater?

I'm part of a couple different "boards". These places are places where people stop, chat, and sometimes form some really deep friendships. The hard part is, though, that these places aren't perfect, because people aren't perfect. Not everyone always gets along with everyone else. Some people, eventually leave.

Sometimes, I find some of them back, sometimes I don't. These people have found something intolerable about enough people on the board that they choose to toss the whole group; throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

I'm always left to wonder... Am I the baby, or the bathwater??
