Expect Nothing

I have learned its better to expect nothing than to expect something. If one constantly expects something from anyone, three things can happen.

1) If your let down, you'll be super disappointed

2) You always expect more and more.

3) Nothing will ever reach your expectations anymore.

Yeah, I know there are those people whom you should be able to depend on for certain things but don't expect them to cater to you're every need. You're a big kid, you'll be fine. I'm not saying you can't be dependent on someone but sometimes you gotta carry your own weight. Learn how to deal with things on your own. I mean you can ask for help but at least try, yenno?

Honestly, whatever happens it doesn't matter. I don't expect to be the world's greatest. I don't expect to be liked. I don't expect to be noticed. I don't care if I don't get what I want. Yeah, I dream and I have goals but if I fail, its okay. You can't be strong unless you fail. Failure is inevitable, just suck it up. So is getting hurt. So is being let down. It's part of life. Be humble, no grumble.

I guess I feel like writing this cuz I'm so tired of seeing all these spoiled little kids around me. It makes me wonder how they're gonna grow up to be like. I worry that my younger generation of cousins are gonna turn out messed up. I don't want that. I just wish they would notice the value of everything and one day everything isn't gonna be handed to them. One day they'll expect way tooo much.

And now off the subject.
Lifeteen Retreat. Its next week.

I'm a little blah about going. I don't know what to expect. Guess you can say I'm not that excited. I miss how lifeteen things used to be. Like how Mailyn's blog said where'd the life in the lifeteen go. Hopefully things will be alright, next weekend. Maybe I need to feel this way. Aha. Not sure but I feel like I have to go and there's no avoiding it.
