One Hundred Ten.
Expectation is the root of all heartache.
I've been trying to manage my expectations of myself and others lately. If I keep my expectations realistic, then I don't get so upset when things don't pan out as I'd hoped they would. However, it's a very thin line to walk. Because if I don't allow myself to hope that things could be better than they are, that I can be better than my current situation, that people can be kinder and better than they sometimes appear, then there's really not a whole lot of room left for me to push myself to grow. To improve myself and my surroundings. To take a chance on something. To chase a dream.
And life doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense without hope or dreams.
