Reputation. Rumors. Haters.

As humans, no matter how many times we deny it, reputation and namesake plays a very important role in our lives. However, if you really don't mind people going around backstabbing, gossiping, spreading rumors and thrashing you behind your back, hats off to you.

During some point in our lives, or right now, we have all encountered so-called talented twats who had decided to be the author of GossipAboutMe.com, starring you. We stand up and try so hard to convince ourselves that we don't care about the rumors because they aren't true and that we have better things to do. Yes, I'm talking to you. Don't try to hide it. You know you've done it. However, I am so sorry to tell you that deep inside, a part of you cares. Very much indeed. 

I admit I DO tell myself I don't really give a flying unicorn's ass when judgemental know-it-alls go around spreading rumors and gossiping about me, when in reality, I do. I'm only human. It is human nature to actually care. Unless I've done something massively wrong in the eyes of society, I will never understand the shallow ignorant snobs who actually have the non-existent balls to thrash and backstab me with my back turned but not the actual balls to do so to my face. Magically, when they come face to face with me, they smile and act like they care when all they want is the opportunity to gossip and make up rumors about me, waiting for the fall out. They fly around like vultures. Bloody hypocrites. 

Here, I would like to elaborate about the different types of people there are in this cobweb of disaster.

1) The Jealous Bitch.

Yes, the Jealous Bitch is the one who starts the ball rolling. The hater who starts up the rumors and gossip. If I were to continue blogging about the Spawns of Satan of this category, It will never end as there are not enough words and adjectives in the Oxford dictionary to describe these geniuses. 

2) The Cronies of The "Sacred" Inner and Outer Circle.

Every Jealous Bitch has her "Sacred" "inner" Circle and the weak and fearful participants of the Circle are called The Cronies. Be it in the Jealous Bitch's Inner or Outer circle, The Cronies have an extremely wide, clear and empty vacancy at the part of their heads where their brain should be. Unable to think logically or process information, the Cronies take everything and every rumor or gossip fed by their Almighty leader, The Jealous Bitch, to do their duties as honorable and loyal followers to spread the spores of the lies all over the place. 

3) The Rumor Arsonist.

An Arsonist is a person who has the tendency to set things on fire. He or she may enjoy doing so as well. The Rumor Arsonist, as the name tells you, loves pouring even more gasoline over the fire already burning just to "spice" things up. This group of people are extremely blessed to have so much time on their hands to worsen the condition of things instead of worrying about their own lives.

4) The Leavers

These are the ones who choose the rumors over you. They will actually walk away from you because of some ridiculously absurd reason. It hurts like hell, but eventually, you'll see they weren't meant to be.

Fortunately, a few good things can come out of this. The first being, of course, you'll come out stronger. Secondly being how with all this going on, you'd get to see the true colors of everyone around you. That's right, you'd get to see which of your friends are true to you, which of them will stay and trust you, or fall into the rumors and go. It's really painful to see friends leave, where their true colors and trust plays an important role. If you have friends, especially close friends, who choose to leave you because of the rumors, they were never your friends from the start. 

For me, I used to be upset and frustrated about it but now, I look at it as a blessing in disguise. If they so easily choose the rumors over you, how much will they betray and hurt you in the future?

Always look on the bright side, with every friend who leaves, a cut is made and a scab is formed. It is your choice whether or not to pick at it. 

If you pick at it, it'll bleed and you're back to square one, reliving the hurtful memories and never recovering or moving on. 

If you let the scab heal to become a scar, a lesson is learnt and you'll be wiser and stronger in the future.

Damn straight.

Don't let all the nonsense happening around to ruin your joy and happiness. They're not worth it. Keep living your life the way you want it. Life isn't worth it to be wasting it about them. That is a lesson I am learning as well. Smile, it'll kill them.
