the poison of expectations

Sometimes i wonder if it's wrong of me to expect much more from something that should have been more than enough in the first place. Expectation is a dangerous thing. Too much of it can hurt you, and too little of it can't take you up. But how do we know if such expectation is good or not?

Is expecting something to turn out the way you want it to the same as expecting someone to know how you want them to be?

Too many times in our lives, people spend their time expecting things to happen, expecting what might be in the future, dwell in it and end up making themselves worry for nothing. Not knowing that the next step to expectation is just a simple step of making it happen.

By putting on a facade and bottling all misery inside while expecting others to read you, is actually making you feel worst. As they say, "The bigger the expectation, The bigger the disappointment".

I've made this mistake many times in just a mere 19 years on this earth. No one is obliged to read you, well maybe psychologists. Not even your boyfriends/girlfriends, husbands/wives. Too many times of trying to read something/someone, makes you close the book, seal it up and never open it again. It is suffering, just by expecting.

We all do this. Expecting people to read us. Expecting people to understand.

But how do we stop expecting?
