Great Expectations

In our everyday lives, we are bound to have certain expectations, no?

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

1. You cannot just waltz into other people's lives and EXPECT them to pretend as though the world revolves only around you.
2. You cannot EXPECT others to care when you yourself did not care.
3. You cannot EXPECT others to include you when you have never bothered to take the time to include others when you had things planned.
4. You cannot EXPECT others to love you when you don't love them in return.
5. Respect is earned... Don't EXPECT others to respect you when you just demand them to.
6. Don't EXPECT others to give a damn about you when you have never given a damn about them.

Argh!!! in conclusion, just don't expect too much! Treat others like how you wish others to treat you, regardless of certain 'obligations'.

Too much friggin' pent up frustration... It's good to let off some steam... *phew*
