my parents said they're cutting down or 20+ year old mango tree bc the neighbors are complaining. I'm gonna fuckingkillmyself
#first of all FUCK the neighbors they have no joie de vivre or whatever#SO WHAT a tree is dropping some leaves on your backyard? OH YOU GET PLENTY OF SHADE? oh no the sun isn't making life awful for you bc the#tree is protecting your house? oh no!#FUCK THEM.#second of all this tree is me. this tree has been in this house since before i was born and was part of the reason why they decided to move#here at all.#do they think it's just something they can move at will? a tree this big? that has given us so much for so long?#it is an alive thing a breathing thing that shares this living space with us and asks us for nothing and gives us everything#it paces our seasons it gives us shade it gives us fruit#that's the tree that held my swing when i was a kid that was my best friend in the world#that is the home of so many other beings. beautiful moths. so many ants. just today my mom and i were watching a hawk that landed on it#that's where the birds sleep.#they said they were gonna get another smaller tree but don't they see? this will be a crime and it will be held against them on the courts#of heaven.#i will remember and i will testify and i will hold on to this grudge and something in me will be dead forever along with the tree.#they did this once with the blackberry tree and i was powerless to stop it but not again this time i will chain myself to the trunk i will#whatever.#leave my tree alone#lett speaks
