The (un)Expected.

On: The Album Leaf - Writings On The Wall

I think no one looks at the future thinking life will be kinda ok or just "normal" I imagine people making huge plans and they thing what the future holds will be great and amazing and that he or she will be the best in what they want to become. Unique in what they want to do for a living. From the day we decide what we want to do with our lives we fill ourselves with expectations. Expectations about the paths we will cross, the things we will do, the choices we'll have to make, people we'll help, the difference we'll make. Big expectations about what we'll become and where we'll go and then, we realize, we're already there.

We all think we will be great and excellent at what we do and we feel a little robbed when our expectations don't meet the reality of it. Sometimes our expectations underestimate us. Sometimes the expected is nothing compared to the unexpected. You need to ask yourself why do we hold on to our expectations (even when we only realize how much we've invested on them a little too late).Because the expected is exactly what keeps us going, that keeps us standing. The expected is only the beginninf, the unexpected is what changes our lives.
