I dislike drama. I have often been inadvertently caught up in it, and always found it distressing. Some people naturally provoke a sense of drama, even unintentially. In a relationship scenario, that could mean problems of incompatibility. I try to avoid drama. It can be and usually is negative.

You've got the right attitude about growth. That is vital. Going backwards shouldn't be an option. I have been stuck in unhealthy dynamics from the past, and its taken a lot of strength to overcome them, as I've chosen growth, but the person I had these issues with hasn't. So I guess we need to move on, leaving those who choose not to grow behind. Life is too short for drama and negativity.
