Sometimes

People disappoint.
Friends disappoint.

Expectation is the root of all heartache.
Oh so true.  But if you can't expect things from others....especially when they could expect the same from you?  I believe in paying it forward.  I believe in doing things for others without any expectation of a return favor.  But on that same note.....shouldn't people WANT to help?


The best way to avoid disappointment is to not expect anything from anyone.
What a miserable life that would be though?  The statement itself is true.  It seems I get my heart broken any time I "expect" something from others.  Except from Mark....he always does what he says he will do.


Don't put your hopes up too high. Don't expect too much, because the higher you are, the deeper you might fall.
I couldn't have said it better myself.


People never remember the million times you help them, only the one time you don't.
I can have amazing fundraisers for other people.  But the one time I attempt to have one for myself and Mark, to help our dreams come true?  Total flop.


Don't blame people for disappointing you, Blame yourself for expecting too much.
BINGO.  I'm to blame.
