Expectations


Do we really take the conventional meaning of the word or we have moved beyond it?
Expectations are something which we expect from every single creature on this planet. They can be our  parents, siblings, friends, lovers, etc.
We expect things from others and we are expected to do something for others but then the question arises, Are we expecting too much?
Does the expectation level has increased?
Well in my case yes it has increased in some cases and in some cases it has come to nil.
Our parents expect us to do good academically and they want us to be good citizens and we expect them to lower their expectations and keep our bank accounts filled with enough money and yes treat us like adults but also like little babies when we want to be treated like that.
Siblings are the worst enemies and the best friends. No matter how old we grow,they are always there either as enemies or as friends.
Friends are our non-biological family whom we never feel shy to approach. They give us shelter, food, money, love, booze and every single damn thing they can give to keep us happy. They give us the best and worst moments of our life but yes worst are very few or none if you are really lucky.
Lovers? Do we have sexpectations or expectations?
Well we have both.
Gone is the time when people lived miles and miles away, met each other once in 100 years, loved each other with all of their heart,planned to get married in the start of the relationship and blah blah blah. GONE. So people, specially girls who still live in that dream need to wash their face and have a strong tea or coffee.
Nothing is static and same way the feelings, emotions, people, relationships, jobs, salaries, nothing is static. And with all these changes, our expectations changes.
All we can do is to move with the time without getting the feeling that pehle toh aisa nahi hota tha ab kyu hota hai and the answer is quite simple pehle time bhi toh alag tha na.
The more you grow mentally the more you learn.the more you make mistakes the more you become strong and the more you become less-reliable on others the less you EXPECT!!

All I want to say is we really need to lower our level of expectations.It is right that it is a natural phenomenon as it arises when emotions are involved but at the end of the day everything is in our hands.only we can handle what to give and what to take.
Just move with the time and enjoy the most beautiful gift given to us by our parents ‘LIFE’ because you never know what is going to happen next because IT IS very unpredictable.So stop taking out the flaws in the present and look at the better side and yes EXPECT LESS !!
