Haters in the building

Expectations vs. Life

The two go hand in hand and I feel that sometimes we get something in life that we don't ever see in our expectations. For a warning, I'm just going to rant on this one because I'm not really sure what I want you to understand/to feel/to see.

I'll start with why I'm posting this. I got a phone call from someone close like 20 minutes ago and I won't go into details but she means a lot. She vented out some problems she's having at the moment and it really just hits me. What is the deal with our obsession with getting what we think we should be getting (expectation)? Why is it so much harder to deal with the reality of the situation rather than be satisfied with what we get? Is it because our generation has neglected the idea of being "thankful"? Is it because how much we put our mindset in getting that expectation and how we want to "Force" it in real life. And is it when that forcing doesn't work that our whole dream/expectation just collapses and we go into a sea of despair? Alright, the last part was kind of harsh/depressing/radical but I did it to kind of set a point.

Now to the second part. Think about how you get over these kind of situations and who you look to for advice. I'm not the most popular person around but I am thankful that I can at least count on a select few people for that kind of support. Quality over quantity! And to those people, I forever thank you! <3

Hello, my name's Mike and my friends call me Mikee. I'll be using this blog just to dump thoughts, decisions and stuff about life that doesn't fit my other media centric blog. As I write in here, I think about how in the next 5 years on my life will change and how I will go back on this blog and look back to see how much has changed. Think back 5 years from now and ask yourself what has changed since then. Was it a lot? Was it a little? Were there many regrets? Many achievements? Many things you still want to do? Better yet, think back a year and ask yourself those same questions? I think as we grow up we tend not to look at those questions and just go on living our lifes. I hope this blog is a reminder for both me and to you (the reader) that where ever you are on you're life adventure that you know where you want to be and how you want to get there.
