#338 - Expectations ≠ Reality

Quote of the day.

Expectations ≠ Reality.

Why do we hope? Is it because we human beings enjoy deluding ourselves into believing the impossible, living fast and loving hard? Or maybe it's because we need something else to cling on to. But why something as intangible as hope? Elementary, dear Watson. From what I think, hope puts many things in perspective. Hope makes everything seem more achievable, more attainable, rather than facing yourself with an impossible situation. It makes things go from bleak and sorrowful to optimistic and joyful.

What a pathetic attempt this is to sound wise and all-knowing. Bah, humbug. In truth, I know next to nothing about living fast and loving hard. Although, I do know a thing or two about believing the impossible. But is putting a situation in better perspective worth it? Because more than often, the end result could be something rather disastrous. Lets say, for example, your hopes and dreams being shattered with a single sentence or action. Not that I've had my hopes and dreams shattered, no. But these thoughts have been dwelling in my mind for a few days. Maybe because I've recently turned 16 [wiggles eyebrows]. I doubt this is a reason for my suddenly philosophical outlook on life but really, who knows? Or it's probably because that I have come to terms with the fact that I will indeed be dropping class next year from Sc1 to Sc2.

And such is the trivial woes and sorrows of my life.

I want to talk about how my birthday party went, but maybe some other time. Although...whenever I say 'some other time' it usually ends in me not saying anything about it. Ha. Ha. Funnaay...

In a nutshell, what I'm trying to convey here through this pitiful attempt at being wise is, sometimes your expectations don't match up to reality. Sometimes your hopes and dreams don't match up to the truth, and sometimes you end up existing rather than living.

Fact of the matter is: What you want, may not always be what you achieve.

Such is the sad reality. Not up to our expectations eh?

How ironic. [is this used in the right context? I'm too sleepy to tell...]

I bid you, adieu.
