I think that if I stop expecting things, I won't be so disappointed.

As sad as that sounds, this has been one of my biggest problems ever since I can remember.

I expect people to be loyal to me and then they're not - I'm disappointed.

I expect my mom to be a real mom to me in my most heart wrenching and painful days and she's not - I'm disappointed.

I expect so much from Ian....it's not fair to him. And when I don't get what I want, I'm disappointed.

I don't feel that I'm settling by NOT expecting things but maybe I'm giving people more of a chance to show their true colors and giving them an opportunity not to screw up or let me down so hard.
