expectations
Christy My fortune said "minimize expectations to avoid being disappointed" but I had no expectations, only the memory of your lips against mine and a hope for the future. Now the memory may fade, but the hope will simply change and grow, shining in the distance. 000426

silentbob well here i thought you were like me
sharing conversation and having fun
but people sometimes aren't what they seem
sometimes you expect too much
mayne you should

maybe i'm not fulfilling your expectations
Well fuck you.

Raina the precursor to failure and disappointment.

So sorry if I didn't live up to what you were hoping I'd be.

The funny thing about these is that EVERYONE has them, and maybe I disappointed you because you didn't fit into mine.

The Truth Expectations...

Should have clear, precise definitions.


Why do people keep them secret?
Do not be afraid to disclose to your neighbors what you expect from them.

Christy Come along and save me before the next round of the rat race begins. Go on, jump in that car and drive an hour west 'til you arrive out of breath at my door and report your honest intentions: "I've come to claim the dame from her dreary dungeon." Westward we'll travel once more, through painted cities and winding country roads. Though the intensity of the raindrops and sunbeams is more than I could possibly bear alone, I will enjoy the sights and sounds because I will be with you. When we stumble upon the bright glow of Omaha's morning lights, I'll be enchanted with the remarkable way the sunlight hits your delicate features. I cannot wait to see the golden gleam of your sandy blond hair beneath the setting sun. 010910

ELONAR why are they always so goddamn high?

and when will I be tall enough to at least brush them with my fingertips, even if it's just for one second?

x twisted x i think my biggest mistake is trying to live up to everyone elses expectations...or maybe its that my expectations for myself surpass everyone elses by a long shot. i see something inside of me that could be great. i could be amazing...if i tried hard enough. everyone has that inside of them...if they are just willing to see it. i want to tell the truth...i want to become the person im supposed to be. i want to believe in things again. see every sunrise and sunset like its the first time.. i wanna be myself and love that person. i want to love ME. im sick of hating myself. i want to feel the things...the way theyre supposed to feel. i dont want to be trapped here anymore. i want to live.
im dying to live.

piercedjenny I feel like I'm not living up to my own expectations, like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I have wonderful friends, a good paying job, a man who loves me.
They expect I will be able to help them
That I'll be there to listen and provide solace
That I will attend functions
That I will provide more work than anyone else
That I will consistently raise the bar
He expects I will say "I do"
That we will grow old together and have children who have children.

I expect I will disappoint them all.

Mister Brightside what i hope for and what i expect are generally quite the opposite of each other.

when my expectations are disappointed, it is a happy surprise.

attuned to the paths down which my river will most likely flow
