For many years now, my husband has pointed out my love for drama or theatrics. Not that I act on stage…I just catastrophize every thing, right from my maid being late upto my daughter not putting on weight to her school teachers not knowing fractions properly, everything is a catastrophe requiring proper lamenting.
Exaggeration has always been my friend. My husband feels it is the woman in me.
I disagree!
It is the writer in me!
My love for exaggeration comes from my hyperactive mind looking for stories in everyday life. My lizards have a life and mosquitoes too. Unlike his boring world where these ‘things’ just exist, in my world, they have a life–they go on adventures, fall in love, fight epic wars…and face catastrophe. Because what is a story without a challenge?
People tell me that I always had a way of saying things and telling tales about the regular and the absurd…it is my skewed perspective! And I love it!
Do you have any similar traits?
