Hello everyone, I hope you are doing very well.
There are neighbours you need to have, and there are ones you don't even need to meet. People have a lot of roles they play in your life and your mindset. That is why people would always say, "I can't do this or that" because of the experience they had before that time. In your life's journey, make sure that you are a person that other people cannot forget because of how good you are.
I remember that I left in the midst of good people and people who thought that life just evolved around them. Sometimes I used to think that those people don't have feelings. They would just make you feel so bad that you will not want to leave close to other people. I have trust issues because of these set of people.
We left in an estate, and we saw Shege. We had neighbours who were always happy with us, not okay. They were family, and all of them were the same. Can you imagine that they would always come into our house to confirm if we had what to say, pretending to greet my parents?
My mother, who was always very outspoken and never knew how to hide her feelings, told my dad about it, but my dad is calm; he would pay a deaf ear to it. My mum told my dad that she wouldn't let them in anymore, but my dad would always say no to her.
One day the woman asked me, How many times do we eat in a day? I was quite little and did not understand, so I told her that we used to eat just three times. She started laughing at me, but I didn't know the reason for her laughter. So when my mum came back from work, as she wanted to step into the house, the woman came out and just said, "I can see why you are not progressing." My mum knew that the statement was for her, so she said, "Ahh, Ma, are you referring to me?" Then the woman said, "Of course." That was how my family and theirs got face-off till today.
I mean, we would just stay and fight for nothing, and we would just disagree on some unserious issues. At a point, my parents asked for peace, but they did not want the peace.
There were times those people wanted to poison our food. I remember that we were always cooking at the back of the house, so this afternoon, my mum left the food on the fire to get something inside the house, and then as she was coming out, she saw the woman opening our pot of soup. When my mum shouted, she shouted too, so when people came out to see what was going on, they got confused because my mum and the woman told them different stories. My mum told them what she saw, but the woman said that as she wanted to pass, my mum held her back and wanted to burn her with fire. Nobody believed my mum and nobody believed the woman too, so it was very bad that we were not safe at that place anymore.
After a year, we packed out of the place because we needed to be safe. But when we packed out of the house, they also packed out of the place.
