Monday Musings....

HE SAID...SHE SAID:
The trouble these days amongst others...
Is that of gossip.
{Words spread that are false and untrue}



To have a friend...colleague...family member...
Believe such lies is awful.
Even more so to see that they believe the rumor.

These people should know better...
That you would never say or do such things.
How come they don't come to you first???


{Ashley Olsen via Google}

Perhaps it's because society thrives on drama...
A good JUICY story to stir things up.
Whatever be the case...IT IS WRONG!!!
And as such...confrontation soon ensues.
It can be tough...but getting to the bottom of it...
You SHOULD and have every right.

"While gossip among women is universally
ridiculed as low and trivial, gossip among men,
especially if it is about women, is called theory,
or idea, or fact."
- Andrea Dworkin

im hearing ashley tisdales song in my head as i type this :) but you're so right and the worst feeling in the world is finding out a friend believes a rumor about you..or worst yet started it. i had a "best" friend all through highschool who would say the worst things about me and other girls behind our back. she was that queen bee type who would somehow manage to get everyone against you, so you felt so alone. ugh so glad hs is over, those were horrible times! wel on a happier note i hope you have a great week beautiful!! xoxo

Mrs. W said...

oh man! This topic hits home. I seriously wish some people I know would get the hint and grow up.

Great post!

Jessica said...

Ooh gossip & drama sure stinks! But remember, truth prevails! :)

Kristin said...

The same could be said for celebrity gossip. For some reason, our culture thrives on believing the worst. Ugh.

Danielle Nicole said...

PS... I just sent you a email!! :)

Brown Girl said...

Gossip is inevitable in every facet of life. It sucks, why can't people just mind their own business. Hope you had a good weekend otherwise!

Miss Marie said...

Very true. Rumors are not good at all and al they do is end up hurting yourself in the end.. Good post!

Annie said...

had a run in with this issue this weekend, some people do just need to act their age. i was hurt this weekend by someone really close to me about something from over 2 years ago. the past is the past...time to live in the present ;)

anywho...you look beautiful in the photo :) hope you had a great weekend luv! xo

Tara Gibson said...

Adorably Distracted... said...

Very very true!! I hate drama!

Ali said...

Amen to this!

Happy Monday, lovely.

Summer said...

Jimmy is actually dealing with this issue at his office...and it's so hurtful.

It breaks my heart, especially when girls do it to other girls. We should be sticking together and building each other up.

Micaela said...

YOU ARE GORGEOUS! and look like the Olsen's triplet.

Seriously gorgeous look on you.

but aubrey, you always are so pretty!!!!

FJ said...

I haven't dealt with gossip since Lord knows when and I don't miss it.

Hope you have a great day :)

Allison said...

So, so true... once I left high school, I really did think that the drama and gossip was over, but I feel like when you get a bunch of insecure girls together sometimes they have nothing better to do than make fun of others, or try to start something. And even now, when it's not high school, and I am more secure in myself, it still hurts, you know?
Ugh, I wish women would just empower each other, instead of trying to tear each other down...
This was a great post, Aubrey!

Tatiana said...

Soo very true! Some people never learn when it's time to grow up or know when not to cross the line!
You look gorgeous as ever!

Kelsey @ Seattle Smith's said...

Gossip is a sign of jealousy to me!!! People need to stick to their own business and lives, right?!?!?!

Elizabeth Marie said...

I think we all thrive on drama a little too much and it sucks and can be so hurtful. It's so easy to get sucked in but I TRY to leave the drama for Gossip Girl ha. Happy monday!!

Llama said...

I love that quote. It is so so true. Why do women always feel the need to gossip...i swear it is what some of them feed upon to fuel their day. I hope no one ever brings you down. Keep your chin up and your head held high...that will really give them something to talk about.

DesBisoux said...

i had to deal with that couple years ago for the first time. it wasn't nice at all!
it's just unfair! but that's also when you see the people who know you and trust you...

Mara said...

gossip is so terrible! it hurts so many people and it's so unproductive. hopefully the good friends will believe you though.
xox

Kelly said...

It is so true. I thought when i was out of high school it would ease up a bit, but I think it has gotten so much worse as I have gotten older. People need to realize what they are saying before opening their mouth.

BTW, I left you a little award on my bloggy.

Ela said...

Oh I hate gossipy girls, that is a major, major pet peeve of mine. Some people seriously want to live in a soap opera. I hate it.
I hope things sort themselves out for you, hon!

Hanako66 said...

so true!

it feels horrible!!

Martinis or Diaper Genies? said...

YES I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you posted an Olsen. I knew you'd be on board.

Ugh... I HATE gossip. I hated it so much that when I was a sales manager, I made sure everyone who worked for me knew how much I hated it... and that if I knew one of them was spreading false things about a coworker, I would fire them. Yup... it's that serious to me.

mommywonderland said...

Um, I hate drama! I think we had this convo while you were curling my hair that day!!! Im with you friend!!

drollgirl said...

that quote is making me so mad! probably because it is dead right!!!!

siovhan said...

gossip is inevitable and if people believe it then let them. i have realized that it doesn't matter what they think. i know the truth and that's all that matters.

the Mrs Hinz said...

Hello...Darlin said...

That is so true it just makes things worst when its not true and people believe them! :(
& and worst thing is, that once a bad rumor is said its like blown leaves you cant go and pick every single 1 up! So even when people take things back "Its never really taken back Completely!!
