It's funny how most people write when they feel a certain kind of emotion, be it happy or sad. These are the moments we want to remember in time to come and thus we take the time and patience to put our thoughts into words (or at least, we try). I've been trying to put my thoughts into words and it just doesn't seem to come out how i want it to or remotely close to how i feel. But still, let's give it a shot.
I have slowly come to understand that people are not here to live up to your expectations, yes, i know what you're thinking, ''you only realize that now?" but its the uncontrollable thought or expectation you might have of someone.
Whether it be them being the most wonderful person you thought he/she would be or how you never expected them to react a way they did to a particular situation. And when they happen to prove that they aren't up to your expectations, they automatically disappoint. It's not their fault for disappointing or rather, not living up to your expectations of them.
You craft out a baseless assumption of the people around you and if they do not react the way you predicted them to, you just feel like they have disappointed you in some way. But, breaking news, they don't owe you any of that.
It's quite cruel, how we as humans constantly find peace in familiarity when in fact the only constant is change. How someone you could know so well act in a totally unfamiliar way after lets say, 6 months. And although you can always forgive them for what they have done, you know you can never forget how it made you feel. How the words they said made you feel then and there in that moment. It never really fades no matter how many times you choose to forgive someone.
Life...
