expecations
I was asked last night, about my expectations for an upcoming trip. Well a trip I hope to make. The question just struck me funny. Oddly enough, I don't have any *real* expectations. The only thing I would like...maybe even hope for is a chance to be happy. Even if just for a short while *shrug* That is alot for me to even think about, let alone expect, so to speak.
You see, expecations are something I try to avoid in reality. They are just a good way to set yourself up for some sort of fall, pain, hurt..etc. It is better not to expect. If you want something badly enough, you will work for it. And if you deserve it, you *will* get it. Too bad for me, I rarely get what I want, hence I tend to not let myself want...or desire. Disappointment is a bitch and I prefer to avoid it at all costs.
Someone once gave me a little business card with this quote on it. I still have the card, and have never forgotten the quote: Life is a series of choices, where you are in life is a product of the
choices you make. I firmly believe this. Life is what you make of it. I don't always exhibit this mindset, but deep down I do believe it. The idea is one of the things that allows me to think...even a little bit, that my life will be good someday. I have made my share of bad choices and then some in my life, and am trying *very* hard to make up for them at present.
