Great Expectations

Hello, how's life?

Mine has been pretty much as bitter as dog shit, well not literally, since I've never tasted any shit in my entire life (not that I wanted to). Strange as it seems, some friends of mine were whining about the same thing on Twitter. Is this February that bad?

I'm pretty lucky that I have friends to help me getting through the hard days, because one of the best medicines to fix your destroyed mind is to talk to someone and to be listened. That's all we want when we feel our world turns upside down. But sometimes, we have to realize that those people are merely human not angels nor robots. They could get burnt out with our whines too, especially when we keep on repeating the same shit over and over again like a wrecked cassette. We can't expect them to be always near us all the time. Unfortunately, a depressed kid like me tend to feel bad when someone I need couldn't grant my expectations.

Expectations. No matter how hard we try to repress the will to have any of it in our mind, we'll just unconsciously have it anyway. When we plan or do something, we tend to have some expectations that hopefully, 'something that we want' will happen. Some people have plan A or plan B to prevent some unwanted things to occur, which to me, those plans are nothing but the structured expectations. People carefully calculate the possibilities to minimize the disappointment when things don't go as they planned. The worst thing is, when people set a great expectation and suddenly, bang! here comes the hurricane, they'll be devastated.

Expectations are good cuz it makes us feel energized, inspired, and gives us strong will to reach our hopes and dreams. But I think maybe we shall not set any expectations to someone. They're not God, and we don't  pay them to grant our wishes. Even if we do, they're only human. There's a large number of percentage they'll only fail you. And when they do, trust me, you'll be disappointed and ended up hating them. You'll have to be big-hearted to accept the fact that you can't expect anyone to please you all the time.

Do not set an expectation too high, it'll only let you down and you'll get hurt in the end.
