Expectations.

Expectation is to hope, to wait, to look forward to, a prospect or a probability of something.
In life we all think we’re going to be great, we set our minds with possibilities and expectations for ourselves and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations sell us short or dont meet.
And the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected.
But too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can't have. Desire leaves us
nothing
but heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be.
The people who suffer the most, are those who don't know what they want in life, who haven't even consired it. And still i dont understand, but it got me to wonder, why we cling to our expectations? why we allow ourselves to asume things? maybe because the expected is just what keeps us steady, standing, still, the expected's just the beginning... the unexpected is what changes our lives.
So we make plans, with a back-up. But the thing about plans is they don't take into account the unexpected, so when we're thrown a curve ball, in life, we have to improvise. Of course, some of us are better at it than others. Some of us just have to move on to plan B and make the best of it. And sometimes what we want is exactly what we need. But sometimes, what we need is just a new plan and to expect the unexpected.

Estoy completamente de acuerdo contigo : expect nothing just improvise.. de ahi salen las mejores cosas..
pero la verdad es que es rico soñar.. expect.. y dejar una brecha abierta para lo unexpected..
esas seran las sorpresas de la vida.
so..en conclusión.. what to expect when you are expecting ? : the unexpected.
