I thought I was calm, subtle, composed, a gentle girl with soft reactions. Meanwhile, if you check the WhatsApp receipts, I’m the same person who says “Come outside, let’s talk,” any time life shakes me by 1%. God forbid I face my issues quietly.

The day it clicked was when my friend said, “You don’t just tell stories, you act them.” And she’s right. Why should I narrate heartbreak with normal voice when I can stand up, re-enact the scenes, switch characters, change accents and add sound effects? It’s called immersive storytelling.

My drama is not madness, it’s passion, it’s heart, it’s how I turn my experiences into entertainment. I’ve realised that being the dramatic friend is a love language. I bring colour, I bring gist, I bring analysis, I bring breaking news before Channels TV 😂

Life is already boring, we need people who will exaggerate small and bring life into the room. If that makes me dramatic, I accept my ministry fully.

Besides, in a world where people bottle emotions, I’m glad I pour mine, neatly even loudly  but with joy.
If I’m dramatic, at least I’m unforgettable.
