the pain of expectations
You know it’s SO ironic with expectations. You can either expect it and die when these expectations are not fulfilled. Or you can not expect it and still die. Let me explain in my stupid I’m currently bipolar manner.
Expectations are the bane of most of my problems I would say. I’ll admit that. and I’ll tell you all now that I’m trying to change that because it has killed me many many times unfortunately. Right. So the lesson I’ve learnt is that you cannot put expectations on other people, only yourself! You cant expect people to make you happy, to do the right thing, to have common sense! That will only frustrate and anger you if their actions lead you into a deep pool of unhappiness, if they’re stupid and have no common sense, if they just dont think at all!
You cant expect people to be nice to you all the time OR EVER because if they’re not nice you’ll just get the impression that they’re a huge bitch ass douche. might be true BUT could also be an unfair over-exaggerated judgement..?
Dont let yourself get upset over things you cannot control. I know it’s a lot harder than me just saying that because we all know how stupidly emotional I can get but the other party most likely wont even know what’s happening ==;
NOW the problem for me about not expecting. There are lovely surprises. It feels really great wondrous and everything is all sunshine and lollipops. But then the problem for me is … what happens after all this? I know it’s unfair to keep assuming they will keep coming? BECAUSE THAT IS AN EXPECTATION. but can you help that there is a little bit of a longing for something fantastic to happen again since you know it IS possible? So many great things have happened to me and I really cherish them. The sad thing is they have just raised my expectations a little.
