Expectations....

We all think we're going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren't met.

But sometimes our expectations sell us short.  Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected.

You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady.  Standing still. 

The expected's just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.

Something Thats Been On My Mind . . .

           It's interesting how certain people can make you feel.  How you can go through a variety of emotions in just one day sometimes because of these people.  

And I find it funny when someone takes away a lot of your life so that they can live more comfortably.  Meanwhile all you've ever done to them is been nice, never said anything bad about them or done anything to hurt or humiliate them.  Yet they always hurt you.  My mother always said you can't put your trust in people, they will always let you down.  Sometimes thats such a hard thing to grasp because we want to be able to trust people, especially when we're in need of a friend. And then you get this overwhelming feeling of betrayal, sometimes to the point of feeling like your being choked.  Your heart hurts more in that moment then if someone were to hit you with their car.  Not true, but you can't help they way you feel sometimes.  

 

        

 I've learned over the years to keep more things to myself, and let people wonder.  To go for a run instead.  Try it sometime.
