Ruffling Feathers

Those who know me; know I’m not one for conflict and drama. It is a monumental peeve of mine and no matter how you slice it; I’d rather not deal. However, there are occasions when I know I have to face the fire or voice my distain for a situation. Yesterday was one of those occasions.

After realizing that a situation I knew much about came to a head, I couldn’t help but voice my thoughts about it, though the other parties weren’t really aware of the extent of my awareness. I’m one for laying low in the cut and I tend not to reveal things I may have overheard as I feel it’s none of my business. This kind of gives me a voyeuristic observation of things and oft times when I do have to speak up; I’m able to provide an insight that may have been overlooked.

The case in question has had me pissed off for some time as the offender has the misguided impression that the world revolves around her and that gives her the right to lie; manipulate; treat people as her personal toilet paper; and other such offenses. Being that I’m a grown ass woman with little time for that kind of drama, I tend not be bothered with her simple ass. However, there are others very close to me who are subjected to her delusions of grandeur. From the little I’ve spoke on the situation, my opinion is that I don’t want to see good people get fucked over by her or anyone like her. I’m a firm believer in victims becoming survivors and those, this brat is offending don’t deserve one iota of the treatment they’re getting.

Now, you may be wondering where I fit into this fucked up equation, so I’ll tell you. Well, chick decided to put my name in her mouth and inquire about things that are of no consequence to her. WRONG MOVE! In addition, she’s offended me a time or few and I’ve for the most part let it slide; however, I haven’t forgotten and she’s been checked for her lack of decorum and/or manners. Well, back to the point. In her verbal rampage, she seemed to overlook the fact that I’ve (on more than one occasion) overheard her running her mouth; a fact that I’ve now made public seeing as she decided to put my name in her mouth. All bets are off now and she best to pray that I’m not somehow in a position to blow her spot up. It’s a bad move to mistake what I don’t say for ignorance; trust and believe the Jewel is far from that. Being feline natured has afforded me the opportunity to lay low, observe, and then attack if/when provoked. That time has come. In addition, it’s warranted because the parties she’s offended are near and dear to me as I’ve said and like the mother I am; I protect mine.

So, if you hear of some strange fall out in NJ or some major change in atmospheric pressure, it could be that chick has been atomized by the many who want to take down the one.

Peace!

I understand where you're coming from. It's like she can do/say whatever until it creeps up into my backyard ... I've been in those situations before and you have to nip it in the bud before it gets out of hand.
