Just Being Ketra: Stuck in the Middle Part 2

I'M BAAACK! Ok round two, as we approach the second stop sign just know this will not be a rolling stop, but a full pause, the kind that jerks your car oh so slightly. Now where did we end last? Oh yes, finding myself! Don't be alarmed, but I'm still finding myself. Well I sort of found my self a few years back, but if you didn't know, I'm easily distracted, so when I turned around for two second myself was off to the races. Imagine being a kid in a candy store and the candy represented different life choices and paths you could take or characteristics you could acquire, well I thought I wanted some Sour Patch Kids, but it turns out while deciding for myself I ended up helping everyone else find what they were looking for. Don't feel bad for me I didn't leave empty handed, I grabbed a Snickers bar, cause everyone knows I'm not myself when I'm hungry, or tired either, but you get my point. Helping other people is one of the many things I love and hate about myself. I love making people happy and feeling good about themselves and in turn they might just show me a little bit of attention in return. I told you I'm an attention seeker...was...am...was...nope I still am sometimes. With all this attention I was seeking, my mother was the main recipient of it. I have done everything in my power to become her favorite child- which she, like most parents would say they have no favorites, parents, tell the truth stay in church! YOU HAVE A FAVORITE CHILD!- which is hard because she has developed a not so secret anymore, mute button in her head, so whenever I speak her ears just automatically mute themselves. None the less I'm not a quitter, so I had to bend over backwards to make my place in the family as my mother's favorite child. If Cece gets to be my Gma's favorite, the least I can do is snatch my mother's favorite away from Marcus, seeing how he did absolutely nothing to earn it except be the only boy and the youngest. Enough about that, I know I told you I was taking you around the corner, down the street and pass two stop signs, but I need to take you to this red light. Growing up was an adventure and through it all....We interrupt this regularly scheduled program to bring you the Sound of Music. "I have confidence in sun shine, I have confidence in rain. I have confidence that spring will come again, Besides what you see I have confidence in me!".... Now back to your regularly scheduled program. Whoa sorry about that, I was typing my thoughts and the Sound of Music popped in my head. Well I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. Any ways as I was saying before that pop up, Growing up was an adventure, it still is. Now I just have more bills to pay and more people have developed the automatic mute button when I talk. Its ok though because I'll just keep writing in here until someone hears me and responds back. Being stuck in the middle isn't all bad, I can rest knowing that I'll always have someone by my side....so incase of a zombie attack I can push one of them and run to safety. Looks like the light turned green, but before you go I should probably tell you, I'm not really stuck, I'm right where I belong. God placed me right where he wanted me to be, with who he wanted me to be with. I'm glad he sees me always, cause imagine trying to fight to be God's favorite with all the children he has! Yeah, I'd have no chance.
