i honestly do not set expectations for myself that arent in the now. by this i mean i really dont think long term on expections for myself. for example: i expect that i should wake up and go to work and school everday. but long term i dont have any expectations for myself. if that makes any sort of sense.
i feel like if i set expectations high for myself and i dont reach them i only let myself and others down. most of my life i have been held to high expectations based on people around me. in highschool i was expected to get straight a's and be a good teenager because my older cousin set the example of being a model student. i was expected to be the grown up in the house really young and thats why i act immature about things now.
i have no idea what the future will bring or what i will be doing in 10 yrs so i can not set expectations based on what i have no clue about.
the only expectations that i hold for other people is to be honest with me. thats it, i dont feel like thats to much to ask or to much to put on anyone. i dont know if any of this made any sort of sense...it made sense in my head.
That is all true. i dont like to set expectatios for myself either but when other people are trying to tell u how u should live ur life why not listen to them. In the long run theyll say well i told u so, but why did u tel me so when i knew what i had to do. so really i was only listening to myself and not them i decided to do what i thought wa the right thing to do
