Love and Expectations

Pain comes with loving. Then why do we continue to love? There are so many possible answers to that but I believe love is what life is all about. Even if we get hurt, we take the risk to love. We are willing to make sacrifices, no matter how huge a sacrifice it is going to be. We are prepared to give it our best shot. But no matter how much we try, some of our expectations fall short. I think it's human nature to expect but I think it is better not to expect and hope. Let people surprise us, it feels more wonderful when an unexpected happens. It's actually ten times the euphoria we feel when we get what we expect.

"We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes 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. The expected is just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives."

I learned not to expect anymore. But to be honest, I still hope and wish that maybe those things I want will happen. I know, I am still expecting but I don't judge him if he doesn't do all those things that I expect him to do. I just let him be. He is his own person, I cannot dictate what he should or should not do, where's the fun in that? And what amazes me is that he never fails to surprise me. When things get to a little confusing that I start to have doubts and I am in the verge of giving up without him knowing, he says things that comfort and reassure me.

"love you! no matter where I am you will always be in my heart baby."

Nothing is more reassuring than that. I should just learn to be more patient, understanding and just trust him.
