expectations!
isnt this the dealth of some people
living to societies and other peoples expectation,
forget about even your own,
see,from day one we are told what is expected of us
being a child,an adult ,a granny .
we always try to live up to expectations.
we conform,go to school
get our grades high
we got to be the best because failing shouldnt be an option.
that means we have to get the grades high
or the inevitable will befal you ,
`you will be poor`
`you will live in slums`,so we are told
this gets you thginking how bad can it be
how is it for those who actually live there ,etc
we put our fate in the controle of others
and wait to be judged
because our actions do not match their expectations
we define ourselves by grades and numbers ,
that actually makes us believe we are not good enough.
we live trying day in,day out
all this because people`s and societies expectations of us .
Expectations are an illusion.
By trying to please everyone,
we end pleasing no one ourselves included.
That’s why most people don’t live the life they want.
Everyone feels frustrated and disappointed.
so put your oxygen mask on
adjust the way you want ,how you like it
speak up ,free yourself and others from living other peoples expectations.
enjoy things while they still last
be ok when they break
stop judging,stop epecting
live to your fullest.
