December eve with these people

As usual I was "always late" for my School as they see it, But I follow a different schedule path where as 8 am was my routine but everyone was used to seeing other students who attend the same school as I do at 7:15 or earlier. they always assumed that I might be skipping class and was intentionally going to school just for allowance.

But in reality I only wake up late or I was just really excused since I had extra curricular or activities that I need to complete. This only happens when the school has Events or We start on a later time. but this hypocrites seem to not even care of course it's not their schedule, but they should also not care about others lives. 

This happened yesterday and it was my mom who caught their sneering sarcastic faces when I left home "late", mom was near lashing out but controlled herself. Of course it was I who first saw their reactions. but I can't be bothered to give a shit. this had always happened for the last 16 years of my life I'm used to their mockery. I just can't tolerate that they'd do petty little things against my family. Like spreading false rumors and doing petty actions.

My mom always reached her hand for them when they needed her help, specially when tough times arises. Mom always got their backs even when we're just "neighbors" we're not really connected on any sort of way. It just happens we live on the same street and barangay. It was just us who helped each other, but it was also just us who destroys each other reputations. I'm know that just my mom's daughter but I have a lot of things to say since even I was caught on their crossfire. 

I was just a year old when they already started talking shit about me for not having a father, they prevented their children from playing or spending time with me, I was treated like a disease, there was even a time where they taught their kids to call me nasty stuff. But here we are I've grown immune of all the petty little things that they've been doing, they're shameless already for placing their mockery upfront but I won't stoop so low to their level. 

We had no choice even if we try to move homes. Since my family lived here for more than 51 years, Originally it's my grandparents who inherited the land from their parents where our home is now standing, what they didn't expect is that they'll have a shitty neighborhood. At first they where welcoming but then as years go by, the amount of jealousy they had towards those who succeeded was too much to the point that they bullied, said nasty stuff, and did nasty stuff to us ( dumped diapers, broken glasses, peed on our fence and purposely throwed their dumps.) disgusting right. those where just their minor actions. 

When mom was just little because they where poor and had nothing to spare themselves, this people looked down on them and purposely bullied them when they get the chance. My whole family putted up with their ridicule and made this as their motivation. Well jealousy grew bigger as everyone had their achievements. 

In reality this sh*tty neighbors had a much more tough upbringing but it seems like they don't even assess themselves, they don't know themselves. but they can judge everyone for the things that their doing and for the things that happened to those people, while they don't even notice the most twisted shit that they've done to others . It's unfair how this people can judge the existence of a being while not even seeing themselves, not changing one bit but expect the world to do a miracle for them to be on the position they dream. 

I hope just for once they'll start to think positively, just for once they'll stop interfering with other lives and just leave in peace. Cause even us their children are being affected with their never ending Jealousy. We have our own life I don't get their purpose on involving us their children. at least for us they change their mindset and mature like how adults should be.
