today i learnt something which i think i should have learnt a long time ago. even though i think i've learned my lesson, i continue to do it. what is it?
expect something.
there is no point in expecting something since there is a high chance that you will be disappointed. whether it be a grade on a test, a birthday surprise or the fact that someone is coming to see you. do not expect anything.
i know it's such a bad thing to say, but it's the best thing to do. if you don't expect anything, then you won't be disappointed. ever.
you won't have to walk around with a fake smile on your face because the event was below your expectation. when you don't have any expectation, things will always look better. you will always get more than you thought because you didn't expect anything in the first place.
even though i tell myself that, i catch myself doing it over and over again. and each time i tell myself the same thing.
hopefully one day i'll stop expecting. but i shouldn't expect that.
