i read in an email from a friend, five days too late, that she's facing some trouble in a foreign land. it's not work trouble, that's easy to solve. it's not exactly money issues, that's still alright-ish. not friendships, she's an affable person - it's familial.
anyone who's not an orphan probably would have witnessed - or worse, tasted - the sting of family politics. hers, is probably the best and the worst position to be at the same time. now. the said friend is a sassy young lady with smarts and a sense of justice. she speaks her mind, has opinions, is strong mentally, emotionally. package that with a likeable character and a pretty face and you will begin to see how it might be if you were to meet her.
from what i gathered, she is, as i said, in the best and worst position to be in in family politics.
no, she's not directly involved but rather she had to witness the injustices carried out right before her eyes. for fifteen years she had endured that and hadn't said a word about it. now that she's facing it full in the face, being stuck as a student overseas where her family businesses are, it got worse.
she still isn't saying anything about it. or maybe she did and had gotten stung in return. one thing's for sure, is that she's now keeping it all in and i know it's killing her, changing her; as mine had killed me, is killing me, is changing me.
i don't know how such human ugliness transpired into a monster such as this exactly but i do know this is not an environment i want to forge with my future family, friendships, etc.
thus... i beseech anyone who reads this: if you dislike someone, please, do not oust that someone. if you must, remove yourself civilly. if you do not deem it possible for you to move or that the other person should move out instead, well, do what you need to but please do not allow others to get caught up in YOUR web.
because it is YOUR web and no one else's. keep it that way.
