Civil War!!

 

Growing up I saw a lot of rivals battle each other.  There were Superman vs. Lex Luthor, Batman vs. Joker, Power Rangers vs. Rita, Ninja Turtles vs. Shredder, and the worst of them all Sasha vs. Montrell lol.  You may not have known the last one, but it was one of the worst of them all lol.  Young Trellie was incredibly competitive and my arch nemesis was my very own cousin, Sasha lol.  One thing, I learned from my feud with my cousin is that it was created by one simple question: “Why can’t you act more like Sasha?”  Hearing that made me feel like she was better than me and the rivalry was on lol. My cousin and I were more like Ying & Yang than enemies; however, I was not able to see that back then lol.  We are both 88 babies (I am older by 6/7 months).  We were both gifted students in school and loved playing sports. In actuality, she always pushed me to get the best of myself and vice versa.  Once again, Young Trellie was too young to understand lol.  We fought, snitched, and laughed at each other’s downfall all the time.  In fact, it was not until a common enemy came along (her younger sister) and we got older that we realized the bond we truly had.  To this day, Sasha is one of my best buds.  We won our first video game together (Streets of Rage on Sega), we attended college together (Southern University), and we celebrated her 30^th birthday in epic fashion together lol. I think this week, I am hating on childhood because I wasted a lot of time fighting my greatest ally lol.
