What expectations did you have that were not met?

Life seems to be just be a series of major disappointments.

Disappointments are hard to bear. Comes a time in life when you ask yourself - 'seriously, I put in hard work, and now, what does that get me?' I think the sooner we learn that life isn't fair, the better it is for us.

Being hardworking as a kid doesn't mean we'd have a cushy job and an easy life as an adult.
Being a good person doesn't guarantee the marriage will work out fine.

There are so many hurts and disappointments we have to go through. We carry all the bruises, some visible, many invisible.

We just got to be brave. Survive another day. Maybe there'll be something good in it.

Take care.

I learned early on to try not to have expectations, except from myself.
For precisely that reason. I struggle with disappointment.
