“Life is so constructed that an event does not, cannot, will not, match the expectation.” ~Charlotte Bronte
I don’t feel that we should…
expect nothing. Or settle for less than we deserve.
I do however feel we should…
stop expecting people to be more than they are.
Stop expecting events in our lives to match a fairy tale or movie screen version that is floating around in our heads.
We should stop feeling entitled to everything we want and expecting those around us to meet our wants.
How often is our misery caused not so much by the actions or inactions of another but, rather, by the fact that their inaction or action wasn’t the expected reaction, response, etc?
A couple years back I thought hard and decided it was up to me to stop expecting people to do, be, or say what I expected them to.
Stop expecting my life to be different than it is.
I have found a lot of contentment, happiness, even joy in my lowered expectations.
I can now be happy with what is instead of wishing it were different.
Life is too precarious to always be expecting the unrealistic and wishing things – or people – were different.
I have many people in my life that I love very much.
Taylor. My son. My parents. My brothers. My friends.
All mean a great deal to me.
And I love them for who they are…
not for who I expect them to be.
And there is something wonderful and fulfilling and joyful in that.
No more idealizing people, things, events.
Just beautiful acceptance of what is.
“Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.” ~Leo Buscaglia
I’ve had the Njoy Eleven for over a month – probably closer to two – and I’m completely and totally past due on this review and yet, for some reason, I’m really struggling with writing it. How do you describe something as amazing as this sex toy? How do you find the words to describe [...]
Would it be ridiculous to simply type “Oh. My. Gods.” over and over as a review? Probably. And yet, when I look at the Intrigue – the P-spot and handle on Eden Fantasys — it’s about all I can think. Just looking at it takes away most of my powers of speech, completely vanishes any [...]
