Wanna Give Up Something- Expectations!!

Whoosh!! 2013 ended. On a personal front, its been a good year of course if you average it out. Learnt a lot; be it professionally or personally. Lots of memories I made, but became necessary to forget some. Finally today is the first day of the New Year. Time for some resolutions!  I have actually never believed in making resolutions because I end up failing on the same. Be it making a promise (I hardly fulfill it), studying hard like never before (: P was a joke), waking up early in the morning and going for a walk with Dad, not bunking classes: D, etc. I am bad at it. Everyone would be actually. 

But on the contrary, I have FINALLY (please put a stress on this word) decided something. I don’t know if it will work out or not. I am in the coming year not going to “expect” anything from anyone. I know it’s totally impossible to eliminate it though I can reduce it. Expectations have both positive and negative connotations. Well everyone has heard about a common saying that Expectations always hurt; so one should stop expecting. But how many of us have actually succeeded in the same. I have always end up doing that from many people in my life. And results as you know it doesn’t work out. I mean world cannot run the way you want. You need to understand that you are just a part of it. People’s life cannot turn around according to your wishes, anger, etc. They have their own minds and probably can’t just work as you say. But I suppose everything you want from people will come at proper time.

I know that is not at all easy task. It’s common that every human expects something from someone they love or the person whom they are very close. But at times we get hurt when things really go wrong and when something happens across our expectations. It’s quite common these days. Because when you have so many closed ones around you, be it your mom, dad, sibling, best friends, etc., you just cannot stop expecting something or the other out of them. But it’s important to get a closure (suggested by a friend) otherwise it will cost you. Trust me, if you don’t expect then life will be full of surprises. Enrich yourself with love and patience. Life is much simpler when you understand the things. Finally don’t go behind the one who doesn’t care. Stop expecting. I have finally realized that I need those people who actually need me and I have nothing else to offer them but myself.
