Hope
I’m getting too bent out of shape over hope. Every time I get really excited about something important, it tends not to work out as well as I’d like, if at all. Now, I’m all for giving a try on something, but I’d much rather go in not expecting anything, or being realistic about the circumstances.
The disappointments are killing me.
I haven’t been this depressed in weeks. Maybe it’s not hope I should be upset with, but my failures and inadequacies. That seems awfully harsh though. But if not for my own choices and luck, how have things gotten to where they are? I should probably just go back to expecting failure at everything so that I can be pleasantly surprised at my successes. Maybe it’s that I just like being under the Sword of Damocles.
So many character flaws, so little time, I’ve been at work long enough. G’night!
