Expectations

Expectations - It makes you and breaks you. You expect to become the best person on Earth, the most useful, most resourceful and most successful. You endeavor to be the best. You want everything to be at its best. And it is a good thing... Expectations. At least you know what you want to achieve in life. And most often than not, you achieve at least 30% of your high expectations of yourself.

But...

This very same word can break you. Because you expect a lot from yourself, you naturally start expecting the same from others. You want everyone around you to be the same, like an alpha. What you don't realize is that everyone have expectations of themselves and they are not going to change their expectations only for you. It's sad. But this sadness leads to the cold, hard truth. That as much good as expectations might able to bring you, it could potentially bring you as much pain too.

The key is to not expect too much from anyone at all. Because I've came to realize that expecting from people is really never easy. You expect your boyfriend to be punctual all the time but when he falls short of your expectations, you really can do nothing much but be hurt. Because you realize there is nothing at all you can do to make him fulfill your expectations.

My expectations of myself and the people around me... broke me today.

Toodles.
