Expectations

Real, honestly stated human lives are not linear. We have expectations about how things are supposed to be. We think we should have some experiences over others. We think things should work a certain way.

Bullshit.

I am calling bullshit on how things are supposed to be. I am shoving it. I am shoving expectations that keep us thinking of how we should be perfect and miraculously we are not. We are the sinners who should forever feel horrible. Nope.

This is real human life. It is never a straight line. We are irrational. We are odd. We don´t make sense, even to our own selves. We get antsy and frustrated. Things don´t move the way we dream they would. We go in circles, we lose the big picture, we get tired. We are hungry. We lose focus. We get into habits. We get comfortable.

We can be chronically disappointed and judgmental, or we can take a step back.

We can be more honest with ourselves. It is possible. We can be kinder to ourselves. It is completely possible.

I say this because I believe this, and I do this.
