what to expect when you're expecting?

expectations are funny things. you waste so much time guessing what your life could look like. but the thing is, you can't really know what's in store for you until the day you open your eyes and see it, to experience it.

expectations are funny things. they make you believe in things that would often turned out very differently than what you wanted; making you crave for more because of the unfilled expectations. yes, we've all been there; we've all done that.

when i was younger, i was annoyingly positive about everything, and so unafraid to dream big. i expected the best out of everything. i just didn't expect that expectations, ... (well) they bite.

it's a crazy world out there. people were expected to be good to each other, but look at how that one turned out, hu? the leaders were expected to lead people to better places, but i can't count on that either, can i? oh how funny when we expect people to do stuff that we find ourselves struggling with, sometimes. i think it's sad.

personally, i still have a lot of expectations in me. i don't think there's a way out for this one because they will always be there, right? we just need to really be careful with them, know how to cope with every situations and stay close to the ground. have faith? and keep calm.

try lowering them as much as you could, but add in a little hint of positivity to the outcomes. i do this all the time, but sometimes, when it's just too hard, i would just let it go. lean into the unexpected, and let it unfold itself. no, it might not be what i'd expected, but it could be something even better.
