MY LANDLORD THREW AWAY MY TREE

I am so unbelievably pissed

We left to go get me a new phone and three hours later when we got home, my 4 foot tall pine tree in a fucking pot was gone.

I found one of his little branches outside my landlord’s front door. Fucker hauled it away with the hedge trimmings from the other side of the house.

My side has no hedge. No decorative anything. Just Henry. In a pot. By the wall. He’s been out there for months. I watered him. I was clearly keeping him outside in a pot, not dumping him.

Yes I named my tree and dammit maybe that’s why this hurts as much as it does.

WHO JUST- TAKES SOMEONE’S TREE?!?!? I thought he’d be safe there! It’s the place where I park my car!! Even if it was stolen and not thrown away (because of course my landlord has “no idea” what I’m talking about), WHO STEALS TREES?!?

No, I don’t want another tree. That wouldn’t fix the problem. A new tree wouldn’t be Henry. And god knows any plant I put outside is apparently free fucking game, so I can’t have anything too big for a windowsill.

Dammit, I fought to keep Henry alive. He’s been my tree for two years. TWO YEARS. I watered him every other day after work. It was my routine. Go to work. Come home. Park the car. Water Henry. Go upstairs. I was going to plant him in my future yard. In another year or so... when we get a house with some yard space... I was going to plant him out back. “This tree went through hell and back with us. He deserves a good retirement.”

Am... am I being overly emotional about this? Should I not be this angry and hurt? It’s just a plant. A tree. A little pine tree. Why am I so upset over the loss of a pine tree? Hours later, I’m still angry. The fact that my landlord most likely threw it away is like salt in the wound... but it wouldn’t matter how or why he disappeared. My tree is gone and I’m genuinely upset.

What the fuck is wrong with people?!? Why can’t people just be kind to one another and respect their things? What the fuck did the tree ever do to you? Did you enjoy watching my face fall when I IMMEDIATELY spotted he was missing? Who does shit like this?!?

I’m gonna go. There’s no clean end to this because I keep cycling back around to “why” because I can’t think of a reason that isn’t malicious.

I hate it here. I hate this town and this state and I can’t wait to fucking leave. The past four years have been one long, waking nightmare and I will dance on the grave of this chapter of my life when it finally dies.

The tree stealing woman - Bella in the Wych Elm, is that you? Lord.

Nah I believe Chris disguised himself as a woman and stole part of my tree.

Tree thief.
