The Rumour Mill

Hey did you hear?...

The gossip tree is alive and well as of late much to my dismay. As someone who has been very hurt by gossip in the past I do everything I can to avoid it...but every once in a while it seems like it is so much more prevalent around me. In the last month or so I have heard so many rumours being spread around about my friends, my acquaintances, and myself. It causes so much unnecessary drama, and contention...not to mention judgement...I just don't understand the appeal.

Maybe it has something to do with boredom. Or possibly just people practicing their story telling. Whatever it is it has caused a lot of hurt.

So what can be done? Not much. I wish I could tell you the magic cure, but I am still looking for it. Wherever possible don't participate. If people are gossiping around you call them out on it. But most importantly don't judge others. And just love! Love is the purest most amazing way to combat this! If you love others you don't want to see them hurting.

I love you all!
