ARE YOU BEING REAL OR MEAN?

There's a distinct difference between 'keeping it real' and being outright mean. Yes we are all guilty of being a little too harsh in our approach torwards others, but it's not too late to change. You see, conflict is inevitable, but drama is a choice. A true mark of maturity is how you resolve conflict. Being able to explain your displeasure, rather than express it is admirable. I have come to the realization that, just because you are angry, doesn't give you the right to demean, disrespect, or disregard the feeling of the person you are mad at. As we 'keep it real', it is also important to keep it real nice, real classy, and real kind. I love you for reading.
