i just read something on somebody’s blog about expectations, and wanting to have lower expectations about people.
I FEEL THE SAME WAY.
i try to have NO expectations. that way you might not get hurt.
but alas, i find, it’s impossible to have no expectations, and it’s also much too easy to have high expectations. i have a friend who, instead of getting sucked in and taking a chance on the possibility of a connection, has opted to instead FLEE at the first chance of anything happening, and this doesn’t seem like such a bad way to handle life, and i wish i could be like her.
there’s this great song in “jekyll & hyde,” i think it’s called “facade,” and it’s all about how everybody has a facade, and how behind the facade lurks all kinds of unpleasant stuff.
i guess i don’t think there has to be something unpleasant behind everybody’s facade, but i do think that everybody has a facade at least to some degree, and i also find that the more i see what’s behind the facade, the more i wish i didn’t know what was there after all.
not to be cynical about human beings or anything.
nope, not me.
ok then, that’s all for tonight,
grace
