The tiger had a meltdown! And that's a pretty big deal considering she's usually all airs and condescending towards people at home. Not that it bothers me anymore, I figured its her way to cope. I do know how people roll here and I admit that I haven't exactly been the best support or much help at all.
But trust me, it wasn't me who drove her over the edge. It was that freaking monkey! He's been getting on everybody's nerves for a long time. He had it coming. I actually stopped paying him any mind, okay, maybe I still give him shit from time to time. It's still a wonder nobody bashed his face in. I mean, everybody had been trying to ignore this but as thick-faced as he could get he probably thinks he's entitled to shit and all.

What's sad is that the old snake and the ailing rooster knew all this and tried to diffuse the situation. But they were left stressed and the problem still unresolved. You see, this fucking monkey feels like they owe him for giving a monthly stipend. In his reasoning, the elderly couple is dependent on the ones earning the bucks, therefore, they should let him have his way. The old couple were far from perfect. They were riddled with flaws and had loads of shortcomings. But all they wanted was to live the days of their lives peacefully and comfortably. Yet, when their kids got older they were more problems than their saving graces. Too bad.
Then again, other families also have certain issues, whilst some address them, some just go about ignoring. But when an old wound is left untreated, the pain pesters and it becomes infected. It consumes you and makes everything else seem trivial. I know this shit, I've had multiple wounds from the old days that I still feel pain today. It was then I felt excruciating pain. It was hard to breathe. I was not okay. But overtime as it healed, as the wounds became scars, everything became bearable. Yet, there was still this occasional tingling.

In truth, I acknowledge the tiger's sentiments and know that we've been amiss in our obligations. She's been carrying everybody's weight for far too long. Me? I'm the younger snake and as my youth and dreams faded away, it was then I realized that I have wasted my energy and time in futile endeavors. I had lost confidence in myself that I no longer can go on my own. What I make is meager change and its not even on a steady basis.
I did hunt for better game and went out of my hole. I saw many choices but my skills were not at par with my competition; I lost hold of what I was aiming for. What self-esteem I was able to gather plummeted to zero again. I know of my struggles but I wasn't blind to anybody else. However, I've overlooked that the longer I delay being productive, the heavier the toll on the tiger even on the old snake and rooster. I've been dragging my old skin with me for far too long that I've been unable to shed anything at all.
The tiger on the other hand tried to relieve her stress and frustrations by going out, on dates, drinking and shopping. Its her money and she's old enough to know what's good for her. No matter how tough one is, one cannot just endure everything on her own. She's realized this and has given in to the urge to give everybody a piece of her mind and actually shouted out every word.
