Have you ever cussed somebody out so bad that you actually took a step back afterwards and reflected back on the situation like ‘damn, I really just verbally BODY SLAMMED their ass’!?
Ever wrote a letter that cut so deep into someone that the moment you finished writing it, it felt like a huge weight had just been lifted off your shoulders.
Maaaan…. I just dropped a couple of rounds of live ammunition on my downstairs neighbor that was long overdue. And it felt… oh so good! I am so glad I am not one of those kinds of people who cannot find the adequate words to express themselves. Oh and she really deserved it too. Let us just say…she had me confused!
I semi- hated the fact that I had to let her have it, but alas it was necessary. After all, Ms. Jan IS my elder and I was always taught to respect my elders. However, she was disrespecting ME. I thought when I first moved in this building, that we would be good pals, since there are only three tenants including myself that reside here and Ms. Jan IS a family friend. Nevertheless, apparently haterism exists everywhere, even in the places you are least likely to expect…like your own home!
Here is a brief excerpt from the 2-page letter I had to send this woman…
…You obviously have me confused.
I am a educated, independent , accomplished, black woman who is struggling very hard to obtain her Masters degree from Georgetown and make something MORE of myself and I would have HOPED you would have had a LITTLE more class about YOURSELF than to treat me like I am purposely intending in ANYWAY to cause disruption in your life.
If you cannot handle “apartment living” where you MAY have to OCCASSIONALLY hear the ‘movement and living’ of another human being… then perhaps you should consider buying yourself a private home. Away from people!
I do not have any parties, hardly any company, nor any kids running around, there is no arguing & fighting, no men running in and out of my place or ANYTHING crazy going on in my home. So PLEASE… get a grip on yourself!….
Sorry, I had to tell you off Ms. Jan. But you should know better!
