lower expectations
I don't know what it is with the need I have to be happier than you. Perhaps I have always seen you as better than me, because you strove for the same goals I did, but you were the one who reached them directly. It took me so much longer, and I hate you for it. And I hate you for the times you said you would call and didn't, and I know its cliche. But did you know after I called you that last time, for the third time that week, when I was going through a crisis, I decided I would never be the one to call you again? You never called back. Not because of that. You called almost two years later. TWO YEARS. For a favor. Proving once again, I was never truly your friend, because you couldn't be there for me, and yet, knowing this I agreed, and did that favor. But when you said you'd keep in touch, I didn't believe you, and I was not disappointed. Because you see, lower expectations yield higher results.
