Expectations

With the great thumbnail this writing has I hope you don’t expect too much from this. I totally meant to have a simple thumbnail for that reason, definitely not because I didn’t know what else to put on it… yeah. Anyways today, in a long time, I’m writing a cluster writing, three small topics in one writing, I’ve really missed these, but all the ideas I have are always big and fleshed out, so today, we’re gonna discuss, expectations, being too nice, and a miserable smile.

Expectations, now luckily for everyone reading this, I'm not going to spend one paragraph defining expectations since this is a thoughts writing, however I still have to define it, sorry, not sorry; expectations are strong beliefs that something will happen, that something being what you expect. Pretty simple, google will give you the same definition, but to keep this ephemeral, I'll get to my point. Don't have expectations. You'll be a much happier and optimistic person if you don't expect things, because it's likely you expect more from people and things that you should, because we all think we're mind readers and fortune tellers, unfortunately though that's not true. We expect to much, and are disappointed when expectations aren't met, now mixing optimism with, no expectations is a different topic. However if you have no expectations to meet, you won't be pensive when your expectations aren't met, in conclusion, don't have expectations, warning, easier said than done. Being too nice is something that we sometimes do, most people will usually do it because someone is manipulative, and invokes pity, sympathy, and/or just straight manipulates you. There are people like that in the world, and while there are reasons for this happening (it's a psychological trait known as machiavellianism) it's never good to be stepped on. Now sometimes you're just a very kind person, and end up being too kind, understand how much is too much, and understand how much you can give, it's not a positive effect if you help someone but are harmed in the process. Do not become a step stool, and learn to say no, it's not a sin, you have limits, don't be too nice. The "miserable smile" is something I wanna flesh out so I'll attempt to make this short. In this little paragraph I wanna tell you to smile when you're not happy. Not a fake smile exactly, but a smile where, while you may be forcing, you want to be genuine, a smile you put on your face that you want to have on your face. See when you smile your brain thinks, "oh, smile, that means happy." It's crazy but it can work. You can literally fake it till' you make it. I'll try to remember to get back to this topic, so there's some blatant foreshadowing.

Well I hope that this writing met your expectations, and also helped you gain some insight into expectations, being too nice, and having a miserable smile; all bad things. Besides that, I don’t have much of a peroration today so… Thanks for reading this, have a wonderful week, and peace.
