A simple theory: 99% of your hesitation, procrastination, and “maybe next time” moments?

This come from the fear of being a "Drama Queen".

No, really!
• You don’t apply for that position? You’re scared you’ll seem unqualified.
• You don’t talk to her? You’re scared she’ll say no.
• You don’t launch the business? You’re scared to fail — publicly.
• You don’t post that content? You’re scared someone will laugh.

You’re not avoiding failure… you’re avoiding judgment.

And ironically, in the pursuit of not looking like a Drama Queen… you become one.

Because instead of risking a bold move, you script a quiet existence.
You sit on the sidelines of your own life.
No plot twists. No setbacks. No comebacks.

Just the safety of never being too much.
But also the sorrow of never being enough.

Meanwhile — every person who’s built something meaningful?

They all looked like Drama Queens at the start.
• Musk talking rockets? Mega drama.
• Bezos peddling books online? Laughable.
• Jobs removing buttons from phones? Full-blown stage play.

The difference?

They dared to take the stage.
You? You’re still stuck in the audience, overthinking your first line.

So here’s your invitation:

Be loud.
Be risky.
Be misunderstood.
Be felt.

Yes — you might earn a crown or two.

But I promise you — life tastes way better when you’re not trying to earn everyone’s polite applause.

So yeah — I’ll wear the crown.

I’ve been voted “Drama Queen”
not once,
not twice —
but three times at Friday football.

• Not for fake injuries.
• Not for flopping.
• For expressing.

Not because I love the spotlight.
But because I trust my timing.
I trust that my message matters — not for everyone,
but for someone.

And if that requires some eye-rolls and awkward stares?
So be it.
