I believe I have written in this blog that "expectations are premeditated resentments." I have known people who have had an issue with that statement, and I am beginning to understand that.What I am seeing is that expectations can definitely cause frustrations. And pain. And hurt.
For example, I don't think the girl upstairs expected a total emotional meltdown from her girlfriend to occur at 5:30 a.m.this morning (and I know I didn't expect it as well.) I don't think her girlfriend expected (what seems to be) an end to the relationship (although, who knows what will happen here?)
And I didn't expect certain people I had cared about to leave me, and for me to experience such a level of hurt afterwards. It is one of those things I have, in time, learned to accept, but I admit I didn't expect.
But I also didn't know I would then meet other, interesting people. What comes next? I don't know! Maybe I am learning not to have expectations.
