No offense... but I hate the phrase “no offense.” It’s such a crooked, backhanded way of people insulting you in which you can’t oppose. Have you ever had someone directly insult you with the defense...

        I hate drama. It’s probably the worst thing you could ever be involved in. But what is drama? I would put it as this: creating unnecessary stress about unimportant things. Some people cause...
