Just because I started working when I was young, I learned a thing or two about life. It has helped me over time to become more calm and peaceful when it comes to relationships with family & friends. To me, the deadliest diseases/situation one can get in is the habit of having high expectations. It does not matter who you are, everyone has someone that is expecting a favor, a gesture, a text of support, a letter of appreciation or simple few words of love. From wife to husband, class fellow to colleague, parents to children or from friends to siblings. Everyone has been in a position where their feelings got hurt because the end result didnt turn out as per their expectations. You know what makes it worse than other diseases? If youre sick, you know that youve a problem and doctor can solve it. If youre physically hurt, you know its temporary and theres little you can do to fix it...but in this case, when someone doesnt turn up as you expected or when old friends start distancing themselves from you, when your husband isnt the same, when your boss isnt really looking out for you or when youre laying in bed late at night, heart broken & depressed because you know that you cant tell this to anyone. If you do, theyll ask you to move on, which you KNOW you are trying to but it kills you when you see someone crushing your hopes and turn out to be someone different. What makes it worse is the helpless situation youre in, which is not something a doctor or medicine can fix. Only person who can change it, is YOU. If it wasnt for you, you wont be feeling so weak despite being the strongest person in eyes of the world. This is when you think so much that you end up to conclusions that are unhealthy & unreal. You slowly start to give up...you like feeling betrayed...or feel like that you are against the world. It makes you feel sad but strangely pleasant. You shut down emotionally to people, you distance yourself for good. But therell always be someone who is there for you. Someone whos trying to help....someone who isnt expecting you to do the same...that person does it because he cares for you. That person is at a happy place as his expectations are low but his dedication is high and whatever are the results, it always end up being more than what he asked for. That person is me. And I just wrote this because I know you are going through this. We all have been in position where we imagine what it would be like if we die? Who would cry and what would people say? Its alright to think that but theres life out there for you. Stop self-sympathy today so you can have a peaceful future with less stress. Dont let one friend or one bad experience define you. You are and will always be better than that. Thanks for reading this long status.
