A week in the life....

I would love to have the power to dare certain people to live a week in my life. Thoughts, feelings, and everything that goes with it. I think there are very few people that would be able to pull through with a smile. Having a hard time understanding? Well let me put a few things into perspective for you.

5 years ago my parents got a divorce, yet to this day, can not be civil towards one another meaning most of the talking has to go through me. Not a problem? Lets put it this way. My parents get me to tell the other parent what makes them mad or angry. Considering they don't have the other parent to take it out on, I get the most of it. Ever heard the saying "Don't shoot the messenger"? Does not apply most of the time.

Then there's always the fact that no matter how hard I try, nothing I do seems adequate for my parents and I am not "as important" as the rest of my siblings. There has been one game this soccer season where both of my parents have been there. I think there has been all but one for my sister. Yea, my sister is 4 years younger meaning she has many more years of basketball, and this is my last season of soccer because I physically can not play anymore (long story, I'll write about it another time).

Then there are my friends. Most of the time things are great, but lately I have been having problems with one friend in particular. So, my best friend is a guy and my friend likes him. So in her opinion, whether she chooses to admit it or not, I am the "competition", and she has to "get rid of the competition". Yea, so now she is trying to get his attention and steal his hat and sit by him at every opportunity, and make sure I'm never around him. FYI, I'm NOT going anywhere and you'll just have to get used to me and him being best friends that pretty much do everything together.

And these are only some of the things that go on on a daily basis. Still think I have it easy? I'm not complaining about my life, just saying its not as easy as some people think. Anyway, that was my rant for the day...
