"Of hoping too much and being disappointed?"

I think that's it.

With me, I think I set my sights so low for such a long period of time that I never realized that I could get better. I don't think that I've ever actually genuinely believed it.

Hope should have no ceilings, no limits.

Expectation is where you foresee possible limits.

For me, it is dreaming. I don't have a "dream job" or a "dream house" or a "dream lifestyle". I can see what I have and the next level that I'd like to achieve. But I don't have any dreams. I had tried to learn to dream again but I can't. Somewhere along the line I stopped dreaming because the dreams weren't going to come true anyhow.

I have dreams. They almost always come true. I ask from the gods, do the appropriate work in my life, and it appears. My life always works out in some form or another and I have no regrets in spite of whatever obstacles I may have undergone in order to get there.

There's only one part in my life that has yet to achieve this. And I'm convinced at this point that while I did have to take a time out in order to heal, I also needed to adjust my attitude accordingly, take what I've harshly learned but continue to look ahead, and look up.

I saw a light at the end of the tunnel last night so bright I was literally jolted as if out from a sound sleep.
