On disappointment…
I usually advise my friends to not set their hopes too high. I do advocate dreaming and setting goals but too high expectations can lead to disappointment. I manage to follow my own advice sometimes, especially where it comes to people. I’ve learnt not to expect too too much and then people have room to pleasantly surprise me. Of course that’s not the same as not having any standards at all - just saying to be more realistic.
But every now and again, life throws a curve. Something great piques your interest, so much so that in spite of yourself you start hoping, and wishing, and dreaming… Doesn’t always work out the way you’d want.
Right now I am feeling kindapensive...
