I admit it, I gossip.
Sometimes I gossip with my girlfriends, sometimes I gossip to my husband. I do it. I'm not proud of it because gossip really says more about the person talking than it does about who they are talking about...
'Gossip' by Norman Rockwell |
After a falling out with another 'so called' friend, I was reminded that there is a difference between gossiping among the girls or with your husband or co-workers, and being someone that intentionally fishes for information in order to use it against someone they call a 'friend'. That is just being cruel. And that is where I draw the line.
When they talk about being a mean girl it isn't just the cattiness of high school...it doesn't change as girls get older...they just become women who are cruel about things that are more real, more hurtful and more personal.
I love this quote: 'Karma isn't a bitch unless you are one'. Ah, so true.
And no, I don't watch the show.
